Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of air conditioning technology, in particular to a wall-mounted air conditioner. BACKGROUND

[0002] The development trend of the appearance of wall-mounted air conditioners in the air conditioner industry has always been to pursue exquisite seamless, overall simple beauty, and to require good comfort experience in performance. However, since the air conditioner is an air outlet heat exchange device, the current appearance must have corresponding parts (air deflector) at the air outlet, which cooperates with the air outlet around to make the air deflector not only realize the closure of the air outlet to meet the requirement of small appearance cavity, but also realize the guidance of the air flow to achieve the requirement of comfort experience. The above known design has the problem of appearance gap, which is not simple and exquisite, and the overall appearance is fragmented.

[0003] In order to solve this problem, the known technology adopts a scheme of setting a panel in front of the whole machine to ensure the consistency of the appearance of the air conditioner. In this scheme, due to the consistency of the structure of the panel, the air outlet of the air conditioner cannot be realized through the panel, so the movement of the wing plate forming the air outlet on both sides of the air conditioner realizes the hiding of the air outlet. When the air conditioner is not used, it has good appearance consistency, and when the air conditioner is in use, the wing plate will extend out of the shielding range of the panel from both sides of the air conditioner due to the need of air outlet. For this kind of scheme, due to the limitation of the structure of the wing plate, the air flow is not enough, so it is easy to cause the problem of low comfort of the air outlet of the air conditioner.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] For reference Figures 1 to 25 As shown in the drawings, according to an embodiment of the present application, the wall-mounted machine comprises a bottom shell 1, a panel body 2 and an appearance shell, the panel body 2 is installed on the bottom shell 1, the wall-mounted machine comprises an air outlet 3, the appearance shell covers the outside of the bottom shell 1 and the panel body 2, the appearance shell comprises an air outlet panel 4 covering the entire appearance area in front of the air outlet 3, the air outlet panel 4 can move relative to the air outlet 3 to guide the airflow at the air outlet 3.

[0051] The wall-mounted machine adopts the appearance shell to cover the bottom shell 1 and the panel body 2 comprehensively, so that the bottom shell 1 and the panel body 2 are not exposed, and at the same time, the air outlet panel 4 in an integral form is adopted in front of the air outlet 3, so that the air outlet panel 4 can cover the entire appearance area, forming a good visual appearance effect and not appearing a whole split visual perception. In addition, since the air outlet panel 4 can move relative to the air outlet 3 and guide the airflow at the air outlet 3, the characteristics of the air outlet panel 4 having a large area covering the entire area on the side of the air outlet 3 of the wall-mounted machine can be utilized to realize large-range airflow guiding of the outlet airflow, accurately organize the flow direction of the outlet airflow, and effectively improve user comfort.

[0052] The front side of the air outlet 3 is the front side of the entire wall-mounted machine, and when a user uses the wall-mounted machine, the user will first look at the position of the air outlet 3, and therefore, the appearance problem solved by the present application is to avoid the user seeing that the air outlet panel 4 on the front side of the air outlet 3 of the wall-mounted machine is not a whole structure, which produces a split effect. The whole air outlet panel 4 of the present application completely occupies the entire appearance surface of the appearance shell on the front side of the air outlet 3, and therefore, the visual effect of the user can be effectively improved, and the wall-mounted machine has good appearance consistency and good visual overall aesthetic property when the wall-mounted machine is in an off state.

[0053] In addition, since the air outlet panel 4 occupies the entire appearance surface of the appearance shell on the front side of the air outlet 3, the area thereof is much larger than the area of the air outlet 3, and the air flow of the air outlet 3 can be completely guided, so that the air outlet panel 4 can move relative to the air outlet 3 and guide the air flow at the air outlet 3. The large guiding area of the air outlet panel 4 can be fully utilized, the air outlet angle of the air outlet panel 4 is accurately controlled, the air flow is effectively guided, all the air outlet air flows move along the designed direction, and more excellent air supply comfort experience is provided for the user.

[0054] The air outlet panel 4 can move relative to the air outlet 3 and guide the air flow at the air outlet 3, so that the air outlet panel 4 can be pushed outwards. Since the air outlet panel 4 needs to move relative to the air outlet 3 and realize the switching of multiple air outlet modes, the air outlet panel 4 has no connection relationship with the structure around the air outlet 3 except that the air outlet panel 4 is connected to the panel body 2 or the bottom shell 1 through the driving mechanism or the connecting mechanism, so that the air outlet 3 and the surrounding structure can be maximally exposed after being pushed out, thereby greatly facilitating the after-sales maintenance and cleaning and maintenance of the inside and outside of the air outlet 3.

[0055] Since the air outlet panel 4 of the present application is completely located outside the air outlet 3, the air outlet 3 can be maximally opened, the air resistance can be effectively reduced, the air outlet amount can be increased, the air flow blown by the fan can be rapidly released, and therefore, the heat exchange performance of the wall-mounted machine is improved to a certain extent.

[0056] The wall-mounted machine of the present application adopts the whole seamless large air outlet panel, which is the main appearance part and can flexibly realize a changeable appearance design, and can obtain a new appearance with a very different style at a very low cost. Even the user can easily realize appearance change through a sticker and the like to obtain an appearance effect special to the user, and therefore, the style of the later derived appearance development is easily realized, and the wall-mounted machine has strong low-cost new appearance derivation capability.

[0057] The appearance shell further comprises side plates 5 and a shielding panel 6, both of which are located on the side of the air outlet panel 4 facing the air outlet 3, and the side plates 5 are located on both sides of the length direction of the shielding panel 6. The side plates 5, the shielding panel 6 and the air outlet panel 4 combine to form a cover shell which covers the combined structure of the bottom shell 1 and the panel body 2, thereby shielding the bottom shell 1 and the panel body 2, so that the appearance shell forms an appearance that can be directly observed by the user, effectively improving the appearance effect of the wall-mounted machine.

[0058] The side plates 5 and the shielding panel 6 are of a split structure, and are installed on the panel body 2 and spliced together. The side plates 5 and the shielding panel 6 can be connected in a clamping manner, and the side plates 5 and the panel body 2 and the shielding panel 6 and the panel body 2 can be connected in a clamping manner or fixedly connected in a bolt connection manner, thereby realizing the overall installation effect of the wall-mounted machine.

[0059] The panel body 2 comprises an air inlet 7 and an air outlet 3, and the air inlet 7 is provided with a filter screen 8.

[0060] The wall-mounted machine further comprises a driving mechanism which is drivingly connected with the air outlet panel 4 and provides a driving force for the air outlet panel 4 to move relative to the air outlet 3. The driving mechanism of the present application can push the air outlet panel 4 away from the air outlet 3, so that the air outlet panel 4 is away from the air outlet 3 by a certain distance, forming an air outlet passage between the air outlet panel 4 and the panel body 2 and the bottom shell 1 around the air outlet 3, thereby opening the air outlet 3 and realizing air outlet.

[0061] Since the air outlet panel 4 covers the front part of the wall-mounted machine and covers all other appearance parts, when disassembled, the air outlet panel 4 can be directly pushed outwards without disassembling any other appearance parts, and the air outlet panel 4 can be directly disassembled, so that the disassembly and assembly of the air outlet panel 4 are very easy, thereby greatly facilitating the after-sales maintenance and cleaning and maintenance of the inside and outside of the air outlet 3.

[0062] The driving mechanism comprises a driving assembly 9 and a driving link 10, and the driving assembly 9 is connected with the air outlet panel 4 through the driving link 10 and drives the air outlet panel 4 to open or close the air outlet 3. Specifically, the driving assembly 9 of the present embodiment is a gear and rack driving mechanism, comprising a motor and a gear and rack cooperation mechanism, wherein the motor and the gear can be fixed on the panel body 2, the rack can be guided by a guide groove or the like, and the rack can be engaged with the gear. When it is necessary to control the air outlet panel 4 to be pushed outwards, the motor can be controlled to drive the gear to rotate, so that the gear drives the rack to move outwards, and then the air outlet panel 4 is pushed outwards by the rack.

[0063] The driving assembly 9 and the driving link 10 can be arranged on both sides of the panel body 2 in the length direction, or only one set of the driving assembly 9 and the driving link 10 can be arranged on one side of the panel body 2 in the length direction, and the other side can only be provided with a guide mechanism and the driving link 10. When the air outlet panel 4 moves, the motor of the driving assembly 9 can provide driving action, and the guide mechanism and the driving link 10 on the other side only play a guiding and connecting role.

[0064] The driving motor 11 is arranged at the end of the driving link 10 close to the air outlet panel 4, and the output shaft of the driving motor 11 is drivingly connected with the air outlet panel 4 to drive the air outlet panel 4 to swing relative to the air outlet 3. The driving motor 11 can adjust the rotation angle of the air outlet panel 4 after the air outlet panel 4 is pushed out of the side, and the rotation angle of the air outlet panel 4 is adjusted to control the air outlet mode of the wall-mounted air conditioner.

[0065] The driving space is formed between the side plate 5 and the panel body 2, and the driving mechanism is arranged in the driving space. Since the driving space is located outside the panel body 2, the driving mechanism arranged in the driving space does not affect the structure inside the panel body 2 and does not interfere with the structure inside the panel body 2, and the external space of the panel body 2 can be fully utilized, so that the structure layout of the wall-mounted air conditioner is more reasonable, the driving mechanism does not occupy the air outlet channel, and the air outlet capacity of the wall-mounted air conditioner is improved.

[0066] In the embodiment, mounting bosses are arranged on the left and right end faces of the panel body 2 in the length direction, the mounting bosses are provided with positioning columns 17 and mounting holes, and the driving assembly 9 is fixed on the left and right end faces of the panel body 2. The driving assembly 9 has a positioning hole and a connecting hole, wherein the positioning hole cooperates with the positioning column 17 to quickly position the installation position of the driving assembly 9, and after the driving assembly 9 is positioned, the connecting hole of the driving assembly 9 and the mounting hole of the panel body 2 are connected through a bolt to fix the driving assembly 9 on the two ends of the panel body 2.

[0067] The driving assembly 9 is two, and one driving assembly 9 is arranged inside each of the left and right side plates 5. The driving assembly 9 can push out the driving link 10, control the air outlet panel 4 to move from the closed air outlet position to the air outlet adjusting position through the driving link 10, and control the air outlet panel 4 to rotate through the driving motor 11 arranged at the front of the right driving link 10 to adjust the air outlet direction.

[0068] It should be noted that the driving motor 11 for controlling the rotation angle of the air outlet panel 4 is not limited to one driving motor arranged at the front of the right driving link 10, but can also be one driving motor arranged at the front of the left driving link 10, or one driving motor arranged at the front of each of the left and right driving links. This needs to be determined according to the torque demand of the rotating air outlet panel.

[0069] The driving mechanism and the air outlet panel 4 are connected through clamping, which can reduce the complexity of the connection structure between the driving mechanism and the air outlet panel 4, facilitate the assembly and disassembly operation between the air outlet panel 4 and the driving mechanism, improve the assembly and disassembly efficiency, and reduce the assembly and disassembly difficulty.

[0070] In one embodiment, the driving link 10 is arranged on both sides of the length direction of the wall-mounted air conditioner, the cross hole 12 is arranged on the first side of the length direction of the air outlet panel 4, the output shaft, i.e., the cross shaft 13, is arranged at the end of the driving link 10 on the side, the cross shaft 13 is clamped into the cross hole 12, the hawk hook 14 is arranged on the second side of the length direction of the air outlet panel 4, and the hawk hook 14 is hooked on the driving link 10 on the side. The ear plate is arranged on both sides of the length direction of the air outlet panel 4, and the cross hole 12 and the hawk hook 14 are arranged on the ear plate. As shown in FIG. 1, the driving motor 11 is arranged at the end of the driving link 10, and the cross shaft 13 is arranged at the rotating output end of the driving motor 11. Figure 24

[0071] In this embodiment, when air supply is performed, the air flow can be diffused in the length direction of the air outlet panel 4 due to the small area of the ear plate arranged on both sides of the air outlet panel 4, that is, the air flow can be diffused to a certain extent while the air is supplied upward and downward, which can further accelerate the indoor air circulation.

[0072] In one embodiment, the reinforcing edge 15 is arranged on at least one side of the length direction of the air outlet panel 4, the reinforcing edge 15 is arranged on the side of the air outlet panel 4 facing the air outlet 3, and the reinforcing edge 15 extends along the width direction of the air outlet panel 4.

[0073] In this embodiment, the reinforcing edge 15 is arranged on both sides of the length direction of the air outlet panel 4, and the reinforcing edge 15 can be used to improve the structural strength of the air outlet panel 4.

[0074] In one embodiment, due to the arrangement of the reinforcing edge 15, the cross hole 12 can be directly arranged on the reinforcing edge 15 without additional ear plate or the like for arranging the cross hole 12, and the hawk hook 14 can also be directly arranged on the reinforcing edge 15.

[0075] In one embodiment, the reinforcing edge 15 is in a hollow structure, so that the reinforcing edge 15 not only can reinforce the structure of the air outlet panel 4, but also can allow the air flow to pass through and accelerate the air flow speed.

[0076] The air outlet panel 4 has an inner concave curved surface recessed in a direction away from the air outlet 3, which can form a better air guiding effect on the air outlet air flow when air guiding is performed.

[0077] ​The air outlet panel 4 can cover the exterior housing behind the air outlet panel 4, thus providing the wall-mounted unit with a seamless, unified visual effect that allows the front of the main body of the wall-mounted unit to be viewed directly.

[0078] In this application, the air outlet panel 4 is mounted on a drive mechanism that can be pushed out to the front of the air outlet. The air outlet panel is assembled only with the right-side cross shaft 13 engaged in the cross hole 12 and the left-side hook 14 hooked onto the left rotating shaft, making assembly and disassembly very convenient. In this embodiment, when assembling the air outlet panel 4, the right-side cross hole 12 of the air outlet panel 4 needs to be engaged onto the cross shaft 13 extending from the drive motor 11 at the end of the drive linkage 10. Then, the left-side hook 14 is hooked onto the left rotating shaft at the end of the left drive linkage 10, completing the assembly of the air outlet panel 4. Disassembly simply requires forcefully pulling the left-side hook 14 off the left rotating shaft, and then pulling the right-side cross shaft 13 out of the cross hole 12, thus completing the disassembly of the air outlet panel 4.

[0079] After assembling the air outlet panel 4, power on the entire unit and retract the drive linkage 10. The wall-mounted unit, after fully closing the air outlet panel 4, will be in the following state: Figures 4 to 7 As shown in the diagram, the analysis reveals that the completely closed air outlet panel 4 completely seals and covers the front of the wall-mounted unit, making the entire unit appear as if it were mounted on the wall. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, viewed from the front of the air outlet 3, the wall-mounted unit appears as a seamless, one-piece design. There are no gaps or obstructions, such as black holes or seams. Even in the top area where the shielding panel 6 and the air outlet panel 4 meet, the gaps are concealed because the air outlet panel 4 covers the shielding panel 6. Looking up at the front of the air outlet from the lower front of the unit, the overall appearance is more complete and minimalist, with only the air outlet panel 4 protruding outwards. There is no sense of separation or a deep, recessed area for the air outlet, giving it a simple, stylish, and technologically advanced feel. Figure 7 The cross-section is located at the middle position when the whole machine is closed. Analysis shows that the upper part of the panel is covered by the shielding panel 6, the top is the air inlet 7, which is covered by the filter screen 8. The panel 2 is fitted onto the bottom shell 1. The bottom shell 1 has an air duct inside, and the cross-flow fan blade 16 is in the middle of the air duct. The upper part of the air duct is the air inlet 7, and the lower part is the air outlet 3. The air outlet 3 has upper and lower edges. The front part of the air outlet 3 is covered by the air outlet panel 4 on the front of all the outer shells. Figure 6 The image shows a 3D side view of the wall-mounted air conditioner when it is placed flat on the ground, demonstrating how the air outlet panel significantly improves the appearance of the front and surrounding areas.

[0080] In addition, the lower part of the air outlet panel 4 in the embodiment has an increasing width from bottom to top along the width direction. The purpose of this design is to make the wall-mounted air conditioner have a better appearance, and to make the air outlet panel 4 have a structure of large at top and small at bottom. When the air outlet control is performed, the lower part of the air outlet panel 4 with small length can enter the space formed by the two side plates 5 and the shielding panel 6, and then reach the position of the panel body 2 and abut against the surface of the panel body 2 to form a single-side air outlet structure. Since the bottom part of the air outlet panel 4 has the smallest length, it will not interfere with the side plates 5 and the shielding panel 6 when entering the space formed by the two side plates 5 and the shielding panel 6, and can realize the contact with the panel body 2. When the air outlet panel 4 needs to close the air outlet 3, the bottom part of the air outlet panel 4 with the smallest width can correspond to the bottom part of the two side plates 5 with the smallest width, so that the overall structure of the air outlet panel 4 can match the structure formed by the two side plates 5 and the shielding panel 6, thereby making the air outlet panel 4 completely cover the opening structure formed by the two side plates 5 and the shielding panel 6, and forming a good overall appearance.

[0081] When the air outlet panel 4 is pushed out to the air outlet control position by the cooperation of the driving assembly 9 and the driving link 10, the driving motor 11 can realize the adjustment of various air outlet modes of the wall-mounted air conditioner.

[0082] Referring to FIG. 1, Figures 8 to 12 As shown in FIG. 1, when the wall-mounted air conditioner is in the first air outlet mode, the air outlet panel 4 moves a preset distance away from the air outlet 3. The air outlet panel 4 is located on the air outlet path of the air outlet 3, and the air outlet 3 is completely located in the coverage range of the air outlet panel 4. The air outlet panel 4 guides the airflow flowing out of the air outlet 3 in the up-down direction.

[0083] In the embodiment, the first air outlet mode is mainly used to realize the surrounding air supply experience obtained by the refrigeration or heating up-down air supply mode.

[0084] At this time, the driving assembly 9 of the wall-mounted air conditioner pushes the air outlet panel 4 out of the air outlet 3 by a certain distance, so that the air outlet panel 4 is located in front of the air outlet 3 and faces the air outlet 3. Then, the air outlet panel 4 is slightly rotated to adjust the relative position, so that the position of the air outlet panel 4 when the air outlet panel 4 is closed with the front part of the air outlet 3 is approximately parallel.

[0085] At this time, the driving assembly 9 of the wall-mounted air conditioner pushes the air outlet panel 4 out of the air outlet 3 by a certain distance, so that the air outlet panel 4 is located in front of the air outlet 3 and faces the air outlet 3. Then, the air outlet panel 4 is slightly rotated to adjust the relative position, so that the position of the air outlet panel 4 when the air outlet panel 4 is closed with the front part of the air outlet 3 is approximately parallel. Figure 8It can also be seen that the left and right boundaries of the air outlet 3 are completely within the coverage area of ​​the air outlet panel 4. This ensures that the front area of ​​the air outlet 3 can be fully covered and all airflow can be guided beyond the designated area. Therefore, all cooling airflow can be guided upward or heating airflow can be guided downward without any leakage of airflow from the air outlet 3. This prevents the airflow from failing to guide and blowing the airflow towards the outer area of ​​the air outlet panel 4 in front, thus eliminating the uncomfortable blowing experience caused to the user.

[0086] This characteristic is the comfort advantage brought about by the complete control of the ultra-wide airflow guidance of the integrated large air outlet panel 4 of this application.

[0087] At this time, the wall-mounted air conditioner draws air in through the air inlet 7, and after passing through the air duct, it is blown out through the air outlet 3, impacting the concave arc surface of the main body inside the air outlet panel 4. The airflow is guided by the concave arc surface of the air outlet panel 4 to flow in two directions, upward and downward; such as Figure 11 As shown, the diverted airflow flows towards the wall behind the wall-mounted unit and towards the side away from the wall, and finally towards the ceiling above the wall-mounted unit and towards the ground below the wall-mounted unit, respectively. Due to the characteristics of the two airflows flowing along the wall, they will continuously spread outwards along the ceiling and floor, eventually forming convection and giving users a surround-like air supply experience.

[0088] See also Figures 13 to 17 As shown, when the wall-mounted unit is in the second air outlet mode, after the air outlet panel 4 moves a preset distance away from the air outlet 3, the air outlet panel 4 swings relative to the air outlet 3, so that the air outlet panel 4 is located on the air outlet path of the air outlet 3, the air outlet 3 is completely within the coverage area of ​​the air outlet panel 4, and the upper side of the air outlet panel 4 overlaps the upper side of the upper edge of the air outlet 3, guiding the airflow from the air outlet 3 downward.

[0089] In this embodiment, the second air outlet mode is mainly used to provide users with the carpet-like air supply experience obtained by the heating downward air supply mode.

[0090] At this time, the drive component 9 of the wall-mounted unit pushes the air outlet panel 4 a certain distance towards the front of the air outlet 3, so that the air outlet panel 4 is directly in front of the air outlet 3 and faces the air outlet 3. Then, the air outlet panel 4 is rotated so that its upper edge overlaps the front edge of the shielding panel 6 at the front of the upper edge of the air outlet 3, covering the entire upper edge of the air outlet 3, ensuring that all airflow is completely guided downward.

[0091] Analysis at this time Figure 16It can be seen that after the air inlet flow passes through the air duct and is blown out from the air outlet 3, it is guided by the inner concave circular arc inner surface of the air outlet panel 4 to the wall behind the wall-mounted air conditioner, flows along the wall below the wall-mounted air conditioner, and finally flows to the ground below the wall-mounted air conditioner, and spreads along the ground. Because the density of the hot air flow is less than the density of the entire indoor environment gas, it continues to rise during the continuous ground flow, giving the user a carpet-like thermal comfort feeling that the hot air is gradually warming up from the ground, but there is no feeling of wind blowing. The large air outlet panel 4 can guide all the air outlet flows to the lower part of the air outlet 3, and move according to the air flow organization form of the ground flow rising step by step, and heat, because it can realize the no loss and no omission of all air outlet flows to the lower part of the ground, realize the ground heating, therefore, it can quickly and efficiently use the air outlet to realize the rapid heating of the whole house, and absolutely avoid the discomfort caused by hot air blowing. The air outlet panel 4 of the embodiment of the application solves the problem that the conventional air deflector is too small to guide the air flow, and because the air deflector is insufficient to guide the air flow, a part of the air outlet directly blows to the user, which makes the user feel uncomfortable hot air blowing, and a part of the air outlet is not guided and directly floats to the ceiling along the upper edge of the air outlet and does not sink again, resulting in loss of hot air flow and reduction of heating efficiency.

[0092] For reference Figures 18 to 22 As shown in FIG. 8, when the wall-mounted air conditioner is in the third air outlet mode, the air outlet panel 4 moves a predetermined distance away from the air outlet 3, and then swings relative to the air outlet 3, so that the air outlet panel 4 is located on the air outlet path of the air outlet 3, the air outlet 3 is completely located in the coverage range of the air outlet panel 4, and the lower side of the air outlet panel 4 is overlapped with the lower side of the air outlet 3, guiding the air flow from the air outlet 3 upward.

[0093] In this embodiment, the third air outlet mode is mainly used to provide the user with the bathing air supply experience obtained in the cooling upward air supply mode.

[0094] At this time, the driving assembly 9 of the wall-mounted air conditioner pushes the air outlet panel 4 out a certain distance in front of the air outlet 3, so that the air outlet panel 4 is located in front of the air outlet 3 and faces the air outlet 3, and then rotates the air outlet panel 4 to make the lower edge of the air outlet panel 4 slightly offset to the lower position of the lower edge of the air outlet 3 in front of the lower edge of the air outlet 3, and is positioned on the panel body 2 to form contact with the panel body 2, which hinders the flow of the air outlet flow to the wall direction. The air outlet panel 4 in this embodiment can also cover the entire air outlet 3, ensuring complete upward guidance of all air outlet flows.

[0095] At this time, the analysis Figure 21It can be seen that after the air inlet flow is blown out from the air outlet and onto the air outlet panel, it is guided by the concave arc inside the inner surface of the main body of the air outlet panel 4, flows along the air outlet panel 4 to the ceiling in front of the top of the wall-mounted air conditioner, and flows along the ceiling to the front wall. Since the density of cold air is greater than the density of the entire indoor environment gas, it continues to sink during the continuous flow along the ceiling to the front, giving users a cool shower cooling comfort, but without feeling the feeling of cold wind blowing. This large air outlet panel 4 can guide all the air outlet flow to the ceiling at the top, and move the cooling air according to the air flow wall movement (diffusion along the ceiling to the whole house), gradually sinking the air flow organization form movement cooling. Since it can realize the lossless and non-missing guidance of all air outlet flow to the ceiling to realize wall cooling, it can quickly and efficiently use the air outlet to achieve rapid cooling of the whole house, and absolutely avoid the discomfort caused by cold wind blowing. The air outlet panel 4 of the embodiment of the application solves the problem of insufficient air flow guidance due to the small size of the conventional air deflector. Because the air deflector is insufficient for air flow guidance, a portion of the air outlet is directly blown to the user, causing discomfort and cold wind blowing. In addition, a portion of the air outlet is not guided and directly blown along the lower edge of the air outlet to the ground and sinks to the ground, no longer floating, resulting in loss of cold air flow and reduced cooling efficiency.

[0096] In summary, under the above three working conditions, it can be seen that no matter which working state, after the air outlet panel 4 is opened, the internal air outlet 3 is maximally opened and is no longer limited by other appearance structures around the air outlet 3. This greatly reduces the air resistance and promotes the increase of the air volume, rapidly releases the air flow blown by the cross-flow fan blade 16, and improves the heat exchange performance to a certain extent. The blown air flow is guided onto the air outlet panel 4, and finally changes its movement direction by the secondary flow guidance of the air outlet panel 4, organizes the air flow movement in a more optimized way, and provides better comfortable air supply experience for users.

[0097] The air outlet panel of the present application realizes the air guiding effect of the conventional small air guiding panel of the air conditioner, and replaces the other main body appearance components in front of the air outlet of the conventional air conditioner, so that the air outlet panel is a part integrating the appearance function and the air outlet air flow organization function, and completely optimizes the problems of the conventional small air guiding panel cooperating with the air outlet, the complex appearance structure design around the air outlet, the appearance split, the numerous parts, and the low assembly efficiency. The air outlet panel is simple in design, simplifies the appearance parts around the air outlet, has less assembly, and is very convenient to disassemble and assemble. Since the air outlet panel covers all the other appearance components in front of the air conditioner, when disassembling, it is not necessary to disassemble any other appearance components, and after the left eagle beak hook pulling and the right cross shaft pulling are performed, the air outlet panel can be directly taken off, so that the whole air outlet internal and peripheral structure is exposed to the user, and the whole disassembly and assembly only needs two operation steps. As shown in Figure 25 The left and right air sweeping blades, the cross flow fan blade, and the air duct area below the fan blade in the air outlet are very convenient to maintain and clean.

[0098] The air outlet panel 4 of the present application is a large curved panel structure, and the front is seamless and smooth in appearance. Since it covers the whole appearance component in front of the air outlet 3, it is a very prominent appearance part. The seamless and integral type has given the whole machine a simple and integral beauty. In the process of controlling the air outlet of the wall-mounted machine, the air outlet panel 4 can always cover the air outlet 3 in visual effect, so that there is no air outlet in appearance, and there is a strong sense of science and technology similar to the fan without the fan blade.

[0099] Since the air outlet panel 4 of the embodiment of the present application plays a dominant role in the appearance of the air conditioner, the main part is eye-catching, and many derivative designs can be made on the air outlet panel in the later appearance derivation. By using the air outlet panel of the embodiment of the present application, since it is large and eye-catching, it plays a leading role in the overall appearance style, is a distinctive feature, and therefore, in the later stage, only one air outlet panel 4 needs to be replaced to realize rapid appearance differentiation design, greatly reducing the development cost of derivative appearance, and quickly realizing excellent appearance design with different styles. Regardless of the appearance design differentiation brought by the change of the specific shape, no high mold opening cost is needed for the design of the new shape of the air outlet panel, and the air outlet panel made of metal, wood or other materials that are easy to process the shape of the curved panel also has a novel appearance and style, and the lower cost appearance differentiation can directly design patterns on the air outlet panel, and realize appearance change by using low-cost spraying process, stickers, film coating and other secondary processes. Since the surface is smooth and complete, different style pattern design can be easily realized, just like drawing on a piece of paper, which is as simple as drawing on a piece of paper, and the cost of realizing appearance differentiation without opening a new mold is very low, but the appearance vitality is very strong.

[0100] It should be pointed out that the embodiment of the present application is not limited to the specific form of the air outlet panel of the embodiment, but is a manifestation of the problem solving idea of using hidden air outlet and surrounding gap on a wall-mounted air conditioner, aiming to realize seamless and exquisite appearance through specific part shape design, and further solve the performance problem of air supply comfort experience by using the advantages brought by the appearance shape, and then further solve the problem of complex structure around the air outlet of the conventional air conditioner, which is difficult to disassemble, assemble, maintain and clean, and the final advantages also include the cost of subsequent derivative development of different styles of appearance is greatly reduced.

The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and it should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the technical principles of the present application, a number of improvements and modifications can be made, and these improvements and modifications should be regarded as the protection scope of the present application.
