[0002] As people's living standards improve, the requirements for air conditioners are getting higher and higher. For the newly developed upper and lower air outlet wall-mounted air conditioner that can stratify airflow, the cavity of the upper air outlet duct causes the structure to be suspended in the air. In order to enhance the strength of the upper air duct, a support structure needs to be added to the upper air duct. The setting of the support structure improves the strength of the duct structure while reducing the air volume at the air outlet, thereby affecting the user's comfort.

[0024] See also Figures 1 to 7 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an air outlet structure of an air conditioner, comprising a panel body 1 and an air duct baffle 2 which are relatively spaced apart, wherein the gap between the panel body 1 and the air duct baffle 2 forms an air duct, and a support member 3 is further provided between the panel body 1 and the air duct baffle 2, wherein the support member 3 comprises a support portion 31 and an air inlet guide portion 32 located on the air inlet side of the support portion 31, wherein the support member 3 is projected onto the panel body 1, wherein the maximum width of the support portion 31 is greater than the width of the air inlet guide portion 32, and the support portion 31 has an arc-shaped outer contour and is smoothly connected to the outer contour of the air inlet guide portion 32. In this technical solution, the maximum width of the support portion 31 is greater than the width of the air inlet guide portion 32, so that the support portion 3 can have a higher structural strength without increasing the width of the entire support member 3, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the air duct. At the same time, the width of the air inlet guide portion 32 can be designed to be as small as possible, and the excessive width can be prevented from hindering the airflow, thereby reducing the degree of reduction in the air volume. The arc-shaped outer contour and smooth connection method of the outer contour of the support member 3 can fully ensure the smooth outflow of the airflow. For example, the end face of the support portion 31 can be a circular, elliptical or other arc-shaped outer contour with less wind resistance to the airflow. After adopting the technical solution of the present invention, the air outlet airflow in the air duct is Figure 4 As shown, it can be understood that at this time, since the air inlet guide part 32 does not bear the role of supporting and improving the strength of the connection, the horizontal width (as shown in the figure) of the air inlet guide part 32 can be made very small, for example, it can be 0.5mm, so that the adverse effect of reducing the air intake volume (the air inlet side of the outlet air flow) when it is set on the air inlet side of the air duct (the side below the figure) can be minimized or even ignored.

[0025] The support member 3 may have one or more support portions 31, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support members 3 have a plurality of support members 3, and the plurality of support members 3 are sequentially spaced along the width direction of the air duct (the width here is specifically, for example, when the air conditioner is a wall-mounted indoor unit, the width direction of the air duct is the horizontal extension direction of the air outlet, which can also be understood as the length direction of the air duct baffle) to form a plurality of support members 3 in the length direction (for example Figure 1The duct baffle 2 is supported relatively evenly in the left and right directions of the orientation shown in the figure. The specific number of the support members 3 is selected based on the length of the duct, which can also be understood as the length of the duct baffle 2. Further, the support member 3 can have a plurality of support portions 31, and the plurality of support portions 31 are smoothly connected by the air inlet guide portion 32. In this way, in the flow direction of the outlet airflow, a larger support area for the duct baffle 2 can be ensured, thereby ensuring the reliability of the support.

[0026] In some embodiments, a connection structure 33 is provided on the end surface of the support portion 31 facing the air duct baffle 2, and a through hole 21 is provided at a position corresponding to the support portion 31 of the air duct baffle 2, and the decorative plate 4 can be connected to the connection structure 33 through the through hole 21. Figure 3 Specifically, the connection structure 33 can be formed by two hooks arranged opposite to each other. In this case, the decorative plate 4 is provided with a decorative plate hook, and the two are connected by a buckle connection. Of course, the connection structure 33 can also be a slot. The connection structure can also be a threaded hole to achieve a threaded connection between the decorative plate 4 and the support member 3, but in this case, it is necessary to pay attention to the beautification treatment of the decorative plate 4 facing the user.

[0027] The setting of the above-mentioned through hole 21 greatly facilitates the assembly between the decorative panel 4 and the panel body 1, but its setting also brings a new problem, that is, its setting causes the outlet airflow in the air duct (especially when the air conditioner is cooling) to run through the through hole 21 to the gap between the decorative panel 4 and the air duct baffle 2, thereby making it very easy for condensation to occur on the outer side of the decorative panel 4. In order to compensate for this defect, optionally, an annular wall 22 is provided on the side of the air duct baffle 2 facing the support member 3. When the decorative panel 4 is connected to the connecting structure 33, the annular wall 22 surrounds and wraps around the outer peripheral side of the support member 3. The setting of the annular wall 22 can increase the wind resistance of the outlet airflow in the air duct entering the gap between the decorative panel 4 and the air duct baffle 2 through the through hole 21, and can effectively reduce or even eliminate the occurrence of condensation on the outer side of the decorative panel 4.

[0028] In some embodiments, a threaded fixing structure is provided between the air duct baffle 2 and the panel body 1, that is, corresponding threaded holes and through holes are provided between the air duct baffle 2 or the panel body 1, and the position of the air duct baffle 2 is reliably fixed by screws.

[0029] The support member 3 and the panel body 1 can be assembled, and the support member 2 and the panel body 1 can be detachably connected. However, on the one hand, this method has a low assembly efficiency, and on the other hand, the existence of an assembly gap is likely to have an adverse effect on the air flow. Optionally, the support member 3 and the panel body 1 are integrally injection molded.

[0030] According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided an air conditioner, comprising an air outlet structure, wherein the air outlet structure is the air outlet structure of the air conditioner described above. Further, the air conditioner is an up-and-down air outlet air conditioner.

[0031] It is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that, under the premise of no conflict, the above-mentioned advantageous methods can be freely combined and superimposed.

[0032] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention. The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and variations can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and variations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
