The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is by no means intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] As shown in the accompanying drawings, an embodiment of the present invention provides an air outlet mechanism, including: an air outlet frame 10, the air outlet frame 10 includes an air outlet portion 11 and a support member 12 arranged on the air outlet portion 11, the air outlet portion 11 has an air outlet cavity for discharging air, the support member 12 has a mounting hole 13 and an assembly opening 14, the assembly opening 14 connects the mounting hole 13 and the outside of the support member 12, and the assembly opening 14 is arranged toward the inner wall of the air outlet cavity; an air guide structure 20, which is swingably arranged at the air outlet cavity, the air guide structure 20 includes an air guide portion 21 and a rotating shaft 22 arranged on the air guide portion 21, the rotating shaft 22 is rotatable in the mounting hole 13, and the assembly opening 14 is used for the rotating shaft 22 to enter or escape from the mounting hole 13 to disassemble and assemble the air guide structure 20.

[0028] By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, an air outlet mechanism is provided, which includes an air outlet frame 10 and an air guide structure 20, wherein the air outlet frame 10 includes an air outlet portion 11 and a support member 12 arranged on the air outlet portion 11, the air outlet portion 11 has an air outlet cavity for discharging air, the support member 12 has a mounting hole 13 and an assembly opening 14, the assembly opening 14 connects the mounting hole 13 and the outside of the support member 12, and the assembly opening 14 is arranged toward the inner wall of the air outlet cavity; the air guide structure 20 is swingably arranged at the air outlet cavity, the air guide structure 20 includes an air guide portion 21 and a rotating shaft 22 arranged on the air guide portion 21, the rotating shaft 22 is rotatable in the mounting hole 13, and the assembly opening 14 is used for the rotating shaft 22 to enter or escape from the mounting hole 13 to disassemble and assemble the air guide structure 20. With the above solution, the rotating shaft 22 of the air guide structure 20 can be inserted into the mounting hole 13 or removed from the mounting hole 13 through the assembly opening 14 on the support member 12, thereby facilitating the removal of the air guide structure 20 from the air outlet frame 10. Moreover, the assembly opening 14 is arranged toward the inner wall of the air outlet cavity, so that the assembly opening 14 will not be exposed during the operation of the air outlet mechanism, thereby preventing the assembly opening 14 from being seen by users and affecting the appearance.

[0029] In this embodiment, the air outlet portion 11 includes a first plate 15, a second plate 16 and a third plate 17 connected in sequence, the first plate 15, the second plate 16 and the third plate 17 surround and form an air outlet cavity, the second plate 16 has an air outlet communicating with the air outlet cavity, and the air guide portion 21 is arranged corresponding to the air outlet; the support member 12 is located in the air outlet cavity, the support member 12 is arranged on the second plate 16, and the assembly opening 14 is arranged toward the first plate 15. In this way, an air outlet cavity recessed toward the inside of the air conditioner can be formed, and the air outlet cavity can accommodate the air guide structure 20 in addition to being used for air outlet. When the air guide structure 20 is closed, the air guide structure 20 is completely located in the air outlet cavity to avoid the air guide structure 20 affecting the appearance. Moreover, the support member 12 is completely located in the air outlet cavity to avoid the support member 12 protruding and affecting the appearance. The assembly opening 14 is arranged toward the first plate 15 to avoid affecting the appearance due to the assembly opening 14 being exposed.

[0030] Optionally, there is a predetermined distance between the assembly opening 14 and the first plate body 15, so that the area between the assembly opening 14 and the first plate body 15 can facilitate the air guide structure 20 to enter the air outlet cavity from the outside and pass the rotating shaft 22 through the assembly opening 14 and snap into the mounting hole 13. This facilitates assembly and has high production efficiency. Moreover, the assembly and disassembly of the air guide structure 20 will not affect other structures.

[0031] In this embodiment, the air outlet mechanism further includes a housing 30, a plurality of air outlet frames 10, and the plurality of air outlet frames 10 are arranged at intervals on the housing 30, and a plurality of air guide structures 20 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of air outlet frames 10. The above arrangement can increase the air outlet volume, and the air can be discharged at different positions to meet different needs of users. Optionally, the plurality of air guide structures 20 are independently swung to adjust the air outlet direction of each air outlet position respectively.

[0032] Optionally, the air outlet frame 10 and the air guide structure 20 both extend in the vertical direction, so that the air outlet mechanism is convenient for application in a cabinet air conditioner.

[0033] In this embodiment, the air outlet mechanism further includes a display panel 40, which is arranged on the housing 30. There are two air outlet frames 10, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the display panel 40. By setting the display panel 40, information can be displayed, which is convenient for adjustment and control. The two air outlet frames 10 are respectively arranged on both sides of the display panel 40, which can increase the air outlet range and improve the heat exchange effect.

[0034] In this embodiment, the air outlet mechanism further includes a motor 51 and a sleeve 52, the sleeve 52 is connected to the rotating shaft 22, and the motor 51 is drivingly connected to the sleeve 52 to drive the rotating shaft 22 to rotate through the sleeve 52. In this way, the air guide structure 20 can be automatically swung by the drive of the motor 51, which is convenient for control.

[0035] Optionally, the air outlet mechanism further includes a limiting structure, which is used to limit the swing range of the air guide structure 20. For example, the limiting structure includes a first limiting member and a second limiting member, both of which are arranged on the shaft sleeve 52, and during the rotation of the shaft sleeve 52, the first limiting member can abut against a first portion on the housing 30, thereby limiting the swing position of the air guide structure 20 in one direction; the second limiting member can abut against a second portion on the housing 30, thereby limiting the swing position of the air guide structure 20 in another direction.

[0036] In this embodiment, there are multiple support members 12, which are arranged at intervals on the air outlet portion 11, there are multiple rotating shafts 22, which are arranged at intervals on the air guide portion 21, and the multiple rotating shafts 22 are arranged one-to-one corresponding to the multiple support members 12. Through the above arrangement, the air guide structure 20 can be reliably connected and supported, thereby improving the stability of the structure.

[0037] During transportation, the air guide structure 20 is prone to friction with surrounding parts, wear and scratch, and affect the appearance. In this embodiment, the air guide structure 20 has an open state and a closed state, and the air outlet mechanism also includes: an elastic stopper 60, which is detachably arranged on the air guide portion 21; when the air guide structure 20 is in the closed state, at least a portion of the elastic stopper 60 is squeezed between the air guide portion 21 and the inner wall of the air outlet cavity. Since the elastic stopper 60 is elastic, when the air guide structure 20 is in the closed state, at least a portion of the elastic stopper 60 is elastically deformed and squeezed between the air guide portion 21 and the inner wall of the air outlet cavity, so that the relative position of the air guide structure 20 and the air outlet frame 10 can be limited, thereby avoiding the shaking of the air guide structure 20 during transportation. Moreover, the use of elastic materials can play a role in shock absorption and buffering, protecting the air guide structure 20 and the air outlet frame 10. When using the air outlet mechanism, the elastic stopper 60 can be removed. Optionally, the elastic limiting member 60 may be made of materials such as silicone or rubber.

[0038] Optionally, the outer wall of the elastic stopper has a stopper surface 62, which is used to abut against the inner wall of the air outlet cavity. When the air guide structure 20 is in a closed state, the stopper surface 62 is squeezed and matched with the inner wall of the air outlet cavity, thereby playing a stopper role to prevent the air guide structure 20 from loosening and shaking during transportation.

[0039] In this embodiment, the elastic stopper 60 has a slot 61, and when the air guide 21 and the elastic stopper 60 are connected, a part of the structure of the air guide 21 is inserted into the slot 61. In this way, the air guide 21 and the elastic stopper 60 can be connected by a snap connection, which is convenient for assembly and disassembly.

[0040] In this embodiment, the air guide portion 21 includes an outer air guide plate 23, an inner air guide plate 24 and a connecting block 25, the outer air guide plate 23 and the inner air guide plate 24 are arranged at intervals, the connecting block 25 is located between the outer air guide plate 23 and the inner air guide plate 24 to connect the outer air guide plate 23 and the inner air guide plate 24, the inner air guide plate 24 is located on the side of the outer air guide plate 23 facing the air inlet end of the air outlet cavity, a part of the structure of the inner air guide plate 24 is used to engage with the card slot 61, and the rotating shaft 22 is arranged on the connecting block 25. Through the above arrangement, on the one hand, the structural strength of the air guide portion 21 can be improved, and on the other hand, it can be convenient to engage with the elastic limiter 60.

[0041] Further, the elastic stopper 60 includes a first elastic block 63 and a second elastic block 64 connected to each other, and the interval area between the first elastic block 63 and the second elastic block 64 forms a slot 61. When the air guide portion 21 and the elastic stopper 60 are connected, the first elastic block 63 is located between the outer air guide plate 23 and the inner air guide plate 24, and the second elastic block 64 is located on the side of the inner air guide plate 24 away from the outer air guide plate 23. Through the above arrangement, after the elastic stopper 60 is installed, the outer air guide plate 23 can play a certain shielding role on the elastic stopper 60 to prevent the elastic stopper 60 from protruding and affecting the appearance. Optionally, the first elastic block 63 is squeezed between the outer air guide plate 23 and the inner air guide plate 24 to improve the connection reliability of the elastic stopper 60 and the air guide portion 21, avoid shaking due to the gap, and thus improve the limiting effect.

[0042] Another embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner, which includes the air outlet mechanism provided above. With the above solution, the rotating shaft 22 of the air guide structure 20 can be inserted into the mounting hole 13 or removed from the mounting hole 13 through the assembly opening 14 on the support member 12, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the air guide structure 20 on the air outlet frame 10. Moreover, the assembly opening 14 is arranged toward the inner wall of the air outlet cavity, so that during the operation of the air outlet mechanism, the assembly opening 14 will not be exposed, thereby preventing the assembly opening 14 from being seen by the user and affecting the appearance. Moreover, the relative position of the air guide structure 20 and the air outlet frame 10 can be limited by setting an elastic limiter 60, thereby preventing the air guide structure 20 from shaking during transportation. Specifically, the air conditioner is a cabinet air conditioner.

[0043] The elastic limiter 60 in this solution is only used in the packaging stage. After unpacking, the elastic limiter 60 needs to be removed before the air conditioner can be used. The elastic limiter 60 adopts an arc-shaped structure, which can be directly stuck on the air guide part 21 and will not fall off. There is no need to screw, etc., and the disassembly and assembly are simple. Just open the air guide part 21, insert the elastic limiter 60 on the lower side, and then close the air guide part 21. The elastic limiter 60 clamps the air guide part 21 and forms a limiting structure with the inner wall of the air outlet frame 10 to limit the movement of the air guide part 21 during transportation and avoid affecting other parts. The elastic limiter 60 forms a buffer structure through contact and friction with the bottom surface of the side surface, so that the air guide part 21 is well protected during transportation.

[0044] The adoption of this scheme has the following beneficial effects: since the air outlet frame 10 adopts the support member 12 with the opening direction facing both sides, the assembly opening 14 will not be exposed during the startup and operation process, and the appearance effect is better. The present invention adopts two small elastic limit members 60, and utilizes the upper and lower limiting functions of the elastic limit members 60 to limit the shaking and axial movement of the air guide structure 20 during transportation, and protect the motor 51 and other parts that cooperate with the air guide structure 20. The present invention adopts the elastic limit member 60, and utilizes the left and right front and back limiting functions of the elastic limit member 60 to limit the shaking during transportation, and ensure that the air guide structure 20 and other parts will not rub during transportation, resulting in scratches. This scheme utilizes the elasticity of rubber to buffer the shaking of the elastic limit member 60 during transportation, can withstand certain impacts, and better protect parts.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
