DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0063] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which the same or similar components are denoted by the same or similar reference numerals throughout. The embodiments described below by reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.
[0064] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different structures of the present application. For the purpose of simplifying the present application, components and arrangements of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present application. In addition, the present application can repeatedly refer to numbers and / or letters in different examples.

In addition, the present application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art can realize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.
[0065] The air conditioning device 1000 according to an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Among them, the air conditioning device 1000 can be an air conditioner, which can be installed in a bathroom, a bathroom, a kitchen, etc. room, for example, the air conditioning device 1000 can be a bathroom air conditioner, a bathroom heater, a bathroom air conditioner, a kitchen air conditioner, etc.
[0066] As shown in Figures 1-4 , the air conditioning device 1000 can be installed on the indoor ceiling surface 600. At this time, the air conditioning device 1000 can be located in the space defined by the ceiling, so that the air conditioning device 1000 does not occupy the space in the room, that is, the air conditioning device 1000 does not occupy the user's activity space, while facilitating the maintenance of the indoor appearance and neatness.
[0067] Specifically, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the indoor ceiling surface 600 is formed with an indoor air inlet 602 and an indoor air outlet 601. In some embodiments of the present application, the specific size of the indoor air inlet 602 and the indoor air outlet 601 can be adjusted according to the size of the ceiling. For example, the indoor air inlet 602 and the indoor air outlet 601 can be designed according to the commonly used size of the ceiling 300mm*300mm, so that the original decoration can be not damaged, and the installation is convenient.
[0068] It can be understood that the specific position of the indoor air inlet 602 and the indoor air outlet 601 can also be adjusted and designed according to the actual situation. Specifically, the indoor air inlet 602 and the indoor air outlet 601 can be arranged adjacent to each other (as shown in Figure 8 ), and the indoor air inlet 602 and the indoor air outlet 601 can also be arranged apart (as shown in Figure 7 ).
[0069] The air conditioning device 1000 includes a host module 200 and an air outlet module 100. In some embodiments of the present application, the air outlet module 100 can be arranged at the indoor air outlet 601. The host module 200 can be installed on the ceiling surface 600 by a hanger, hidden installation, not occupying the position, and the appearance is neat.
[0070] Specifically, the host module 200 comprises a casing 20, a first fan 30, a first heat exchanger 40, a second fan 50 and a second heat exchanger 60. The casing 20 can provide installation space for the first heat exchanger 40, the first fan 30, the second heat exchanger 60 and the second fan 50.
[0071] The casing 20 is formed with a first air duct 206 and a second air duct 207 which are separated from each other, the first air duct 206 has a first air inlet 2061 and a first air outlet 2062, the second air duct 207 has a second air inlet 2071 and a second air outlet 2072, the first fan 30 and the first heat exchanger 40 are arranged in the first air duct 206, the first fan 30 can drive air flow from the first air inlet 2061 to the first air outlet 2062. The second fan 50 and the second heat exchanger 60 are arranged in the second air duct 207. The second fan 50 can drive air flow from the second air inlet 2071 to the second air outlet 2072. The first air inlet 2061 can be in communication with the indoor. For example, the first air inlet 2061 can be in communication with the indoor air inlet 602, the second air outlet 2072 is in communication with the outdoor, and the air outlet module 100 is in communication with the first air outlet 2062.
[0072] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the wall 700 is formed with an outdoor air outlet 701 in communication with the outdoor, and the second air outlet 2072 is in communication with the outdoor air outlet 701.
[0073] It can be understood that the air conditioning device 1000 further comprises a compressor 70, which can be arranged in the casing 20. The compressor 70, the first heat exchanger 40 and the second heat exchanger 60 form a heat exchange flow path, and the refrigerant can flow in the heat exchange flow path to make the air conditioning device 1000 cool or heat. Among them, when the first heat exchanger 40 and the second heat exchanger 60 both work, one of the first heat exchanger 40 and the second heat exchanger 60 is an evaporator and the other is a condenser. In other embodiments of the present application, the compressor 70 can also be arranged outside the casing 20.
[0074] Specifically, when the first heat exchanger 40 is a condenser, the second heat exchanger 60 is an evaporator; when the first heat exchanger 40 is an evaporator, the second heat exchanger 60 is a condenser. The refrigerant can be liquefied and heat released in the condenser, and vaporized and heat absorbed in the evaporator, thereby enabling the refrigeration cycle of the air conditioning device 1000 to proceed smoothly. For example, the first heat exchanger 40 and the second heat exchanger 60 can be connected by a four-way reversing valve, and by switching the four-way reversing valve, the first heat exchanger 40 and the second heat exchanger 60 can be switched between the evaporator and the condenser.
[0075] For example, when the air conditioning device 1000 cools, the first heat exchanger 40 is a condenser, and the second heat exchanger 60 is an evaporator; when the air conditioning device 1000 heats, the first heat exchanger 40 is an evaporator, and the second heat exchanger 60 is a condenser.
[0076] It can be understood that, when the air conditioning device 1000 cools, under the driving of the first fan 30, the indoor hot air flow can flow from the indoor, for example, from the indoor air inlet 602, to the ceiling, and then from the first air inlet 2061 to the first air duct 206. When the hot air flow passes through the first heat exchanger 40, the hot air flow exchanges heat with the first heat exchanger 40, and becomes cold air flow after the heat exchange, and then flows to the first air outlet 2062. Thus, the cold air flow can flow from the first air outlet 2062 to the indoor to cool the indoor. To enable the cooling cycle of the air conditioning device 1000 to continue to operate, under the driving of the second fan 50, the indoor or outdoor air flow can flow from the second air inlet 2071 to the second air duct 207. When the air flow in the second air duct 207 passes through the second heat exchanger 60, the air flow exchanges heat with the second heat exchanger 60, and becomes hot air flow after the heat exchange, and then flows to the second air outlet 2072. Thus, the air flow after the heat exchange of the second heat exchanger 60 can be discharged to the outdoor from the second air outlet 2072.
[0077] When the air conditioning device 1000 heats, under the driving of the first fan 30, the indoor cold air flow can flow from the indoor, for example, from the indoor air inlet 602, to the ceiling, and then from the first air inlet 2061 to the first air duct 206. When the cold air flow passes through the first heat exchanger 40, the cold air flow exchanges heat with the first heat exchanger 40, and becomes hot air flow after the heat exchange, and then flows to the first air outlet 2062. Thus, the hot air flow can flow from the first air outlet 2062 to the indoor to heat the indoor. To enable the heating cycle of the air conditioning device 1000 to continue to operate, under the driving of the second fan 50, the indoor or outdoor air flow can flow from the second air inlet 2071 to the second air duct 207. When the air flow in the second air duct 207 passes through the second heat exchanger 60, the air flow exchanges heat with the second heat exchanger 60, and becomes cold air flow after the heat exchange, and then flows to the second air outlet 2072. Thus, the air flow after the heat exchange of the second heat exchanger 60 can be discharged to the outdoor from the second air outlet 2072.
[0078] It can be understood that, when the air conditioning device 1000 works, when only the second fan 50 is turned on, at this time, the compressor 70 and the first fan 30 do not work, the indoor air can enter the ceiling, and then enter the second air duct 207 through the second air inlet 2071, and then be discharged to the outdoor through the second air outlet 2072, at this time, the exhaust function can be realized.
[0079] Thus, by defining the first air duct 206 and the second air duct 207 in the casing 20, and arranging the first heat exchanger 40 and the first fan 30 in the first air duct 206, and arranging the second heat exchanger 60 and the second fan 50 in the second air duct 207, the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the split air conditioning device 1000 in the related art are integrated into one, to realize the refrigeration and heating functions, and at the same time, the air conditioning device 1000 can be integrally installed indoors during installation, so that the air conditioning device 1000 is simple in structure and convenient to install. Moreover, the air duct of the air conditioning device 1000 is simple in structure, which is conducive to reducing the overall volume of the air conditioning device 1000, realizing the miniaturization of the air conditioning module, and facilitating the embedding of the air conditioning module in the top of a room (for example, a bathroom) to realize hidden installation. In addition, since the air outlet module 100 and the main module 200 are arranged separately, the installation positions of the air outlet module 100 and the main module 200 can be arranged flexibly, so that the air conditioning device 1000 has a large and flexible selection range of installation positions.
[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, the air outlet module 100 is in communication with the first air outlet 2062 through the first flexible pipe 300. Optionally, the first flexible pipe 300 is a flexible bellows. The length of the first flexible pipe 300 can be lengthened, and can be bent to adapt to the installation requirements of different positions. The diameter of the first flexible pipe 300 can be 80mm-150mm. For example, the diameter of the first flexible pipe 300 can be 100mm. Thus, the connection difficulty of the air outlet module 100 and the first air outlet 2062 can be reduced, and the setting positions of the air outlet module 100 and the main module 200 can have a large and flexible selection range, so that the installation positions of the air outlet module 100 and the main module 200 are more flexible.
[0081] Further, the second air outlet 2072 is in communication with the outdoor through the second flexible pipe 400. As shown in Figures 1-6 the second air outlet 2072 is in communication with the outdoor exhaust outlet 701 through the second flexible pipe 400. Optionally, the second flexible pipe 400 is a flexible bellows. The length of the second flexible pipe 400 can be lengthened, and can be bent to adapt to the installation requirements of different positions. The diameter of the second flexible pipe 400 can be 80mm-150mm. For example, the diameter of the second flexible pipe 400 can be 100mm. Thus, the connection difficulty of the main module 200 and the outdoor exhaust outlet 701 can be reduced, and the setting positions of the main module 200 and the outdoor exhaust outlet 701 can have a large and flexible selection range, so that the setting positions of the main module 200 and the outdoor exhaust outlet 701 are more flexible.
[0082] According to some embodiments of the present application, the air outlet module 100 and the second flexible pipe 400 are located on the two sides of the main module 200, respectively. Referring toFigures 1-7 The air outlet module 100 and the second flexible duct 400 are respectively located on both sides of the width direction of the main module 200. In this way, the total length of the first flexible duct 300 and the second flexible duct 400 can be shortened, the cost can be saved, and the air volume loss can be reduced.
[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, the air outlet module 100 and the second flexible duct 400 can also be located on the same side of the main module 200. In this way, the assembly difficulty of the air conditioning device 1000 can be reduced.
[0084] In some embodiments of the present application, the first air inlet 2061 is arranged opposite to the first air outlet 2062, and / or the second air inlet 2071 is arranged opposite to the second air outlet 2072. Specifically, the first air inlet 2061 can be arranged opposite to the first air outlet 2062 only, the second air inlet 2071 can be arranged opposite to the second air outlet 2072 only, or the first air inlet 2061 can be arranged opposite to the first air outlet 2062, and the second air inlet 2071 can be arranged opposite to the second air outlet 2072.
[0085] When the first air inlet 2061 is arranged opposite to the first air outlet 2062, the air flow entering the first air duct 206 through the first air inlet 2061 can flow to the first air outlet 2062 without changing the flow direction, thereby effectively reducing the air resistance and air volume loss. When the second air inlet 2071 is arranged opposite to the second air outlet 2072, the air flow entering the second air duct 207 through the second air inlet 2071 can flow to the second air outlet 2072 without changing the flow direction, thereby effectively reducing the air resistance and air volume loss.
[0086] For example, in some embodiments of the present application, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cabinet 20 can be formed in a cuboid shape, the cabinet 20 includes first and second side walls 201 and 202 arranged opposite to each other, the first air inlet 2061 and the second air outlet 2072 are formed on the first side wall 201, the first air outlet 2062 and the second air inlet 2071 are formed on the second side wall 202, and the first air inlet 2061 and the second air outlet 2072 are arranged at intervals in the length direction of the first side wall 201, and the first air outlet 2062 and the second air inlet 2071 are arranged at intervals in the length direction of the second side wall 202.
[0087] Therefore, by arranging the first air inlet 2061 and the second air outlet 2072 at intervals along the length of the first side wall 201, and arranging the first air outlet 2062 and the second air inlet 2071 at intervals along the length of the second side wall 202, the casing 20 can be made into a long strip shape, which helps to reduce the width of the main unit module 200. For example, the width of the main unit module 200 can be set to less than 300mm. Thus, when the ceiling surface 600 is a standard aluminum panel, the aluminum panel can be removed, allowing the main unit module 200 to be installed to the ceiling through the gaps between the joists. When the ceiling surface 600 is a non-standard aluminum panel, it can be installed after cutting the plasterboard. In other words, even after the ceiling decoration is completed, this air conditioning equipment 1000 can still be installed.
[0088] In some embodiments, the first air inlet 2061 and the second air inlet 2071 may also be formed on the first sidewall 201, and the first air outlet 2062 and the second air outlet 2072 may also be formed on the second sidewall 202. The first air inlet 2061 and the second air inlet 2071 are spaced apart in the length direction of the first sidewall 201, and the first air outlet 2062 and the second air outlet 2072 are spaced apart in the length direction of the second sidewall 202.
[0089] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the housing 20 is divided into three independent chambers: a first chamber 203, a second chamber 204, and a third chamber 205. The first chamber 203, the second chamber 204, and the third chamber 205 can be arranged along the length of the housing 20.
[0090] In some embodiments of the present invention, the housing 20 is provided with a first partition and a second partition spaced apart along the length of the housing 20, and the first partition and the second partition divide the housing 20 into a first chamber 203, a second chamber 204 and a third chamber 205, which are independent of each other.
[0091] The first chamber 203 and the third chamber 205 are located on opposite sides of the second chamber 204. Specifically, the first fan 30 and the first heat exchanger 40 can be located in the first chamber 203, the second fan 50 and the second heat exchanger 60 can be located in the third chamber 205, and the compressor 70 can be located in the second chamber 204. In this way, both the first chamber 203 and the third chamber 205 can function as air ducts.
[0092] It is understood that in other embodiments of the present invention, the compressor 70 may also be disposed in the third chamber 205, the first fan 30 and the first heat exchanger 40 may be disposed in the first chamber 203, and the second fan 50 and the second heat exchanger 60 may be disposed in the second chamber 204.
[0093] Thus, the casing 20 is directly divided into three chambers, so that the casing 20 not only has the function of accommodating and installing the fan and the heat exchanger, but also the first chamber 203 and the third chamber 205 can play the role of the air duct, so that the air duct is formed integrally by the casing 20, and there is no need to additionally set the air duct assembly, so that the main machine module 200 of the air conditioning device 1000 is more compact, and the production cost and the installation process are saved. Of course, in other embodiments, the casing 20 can also be divided into a first chamber 203 and a second chamber 204 which are independent of each other, and the first fan 30 and the first heat exchanger 40 can be arranged in the first chamber 203, and the compressor 70, the second fan 50 and the second heat exchanger 60 can be arranged in the second chamber 204.
[0094] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-4 , the air conditioning device 1000 can be installed on the ceiling surface 600 in the room. At this time, the air conditioning device 1000 can be located in the space defined by the ceiling, so that the air conditioning device 1000 does not occupy the space in the room, that is, the air conditioning device 1000 does not occupy the user's activity space, and at the same time, it is convenient to maintain the indoor appearance and tidiness.
[0095] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the indoor air inlet 602 and the indoor air outlet 601 are formed on the ceiling surface 600. In some embodiments of the present application, the specific size of the indoor air inlet 602 and the indoor air outlet 601 can be adjusted and designed according to the size of the ceiling. For example, the indoor air inlet 602 and the indoor air outlet 601 can be designed according to the commonly used size of 300mm*300mm of the ceiling, so that the original decoration can not be damaged, and the installation is convenient.
[0096] It can be understood that the specific positions of the indoor air inlet 602 and the indoor air outlet can also be adjusted and designed according to the actual situation. Specifically, the indoor air inlet 602 can be arranged adjacent to the indoor air outlet 601, for example, the indoor air inlet 602 and the indoor air outlet 601 can be arranged adjacent to each other (as shown in Figure 8 ), at this time, the indoor air inlet 602 and the indoor air outlet 601 can be formed on the same aluminum panel of the ceiling surface 600. In other embodiments of the present application, the indoor air inlet 602 and the indoor air outlet 601 can also be arranged apart (as shown in Figure 7 ). According to some embodiments of the present application, the indoor air inlet 602 is arranged adjacent to the first air inlet 2061. As shown in Figure 2 , the first air inlet 2061 is adjacent to the first side wall 201. Thus, the distance between the indoor air inlet 602 and the first air inlet 2061 can be shortened, which is beneficial to improve the circulation efficiency of the airflow.
[0097] In some embodiments of the present application, the indoor air inlet 602 is arranged adjacent to the indoor air outlet 601. As shown in FIG. 6, the distance between the indoor air inlet 602 and the indoor air outlet 601 is reduced, and the indoor air inlet 602 and the indoor air outlet 601 can be formed on the same aluminum sheet of the ceiling surface 600, which is advantageous for simplifying the processing of the air conditioning device 1000 and improving the processing efficiency. Figure 8
[0098] For example, when the indoor air conditioning device 1000 is installed in a room that has been decorated, the indoor air inlet 602 is arranged adjacent to the indoor air outlet 601, and only one aluminum sheet on which the indoor air inlet 602 and the indoor air outlet 601 are formed needs to be removed.
[0099] According to some embodiments of the present application, the air conditioning device 1000 further comprises an air inlet grille connected to the air outlet module 100. Specifically, the air inlet grille can be arranged on the housing 1 of the air outlet module 100. In this way, the processing of the air conditioning device 1000 can be simplified, the processing efficiency can be improved, and the cost can be reduced.
[0100] According to some embodiments of the present application, the bottom of the casing 20 is provided with a water pan 80, the first heat exchanger 40 and the second heat exchanger 60 are arranged on the water pan 80, and the water pan 80 is provided with a water pumping module 90 for spraying water in the water pan 80 onto the second heat exchanger 60. Optionally, the water pumping module 90 is a water wheel or a water pump. The water pan 80 can be used to collect condensate water from the first heat exchanger 40 and the second heat exchanger 60.
[0101] In use, the water pumping module 90 can be turned on in the refrigeration cycle mode to spray the condensate water onto the second heat exchanger 60 at a high temperature, so that the condensate water can be evaporated by the heat of the second heat exchanger 60, and the evaporated water vapor can be discharged to the outside by the second fan 50, thereby achieving the purpose of dehumidification.
[0102] Further, the air conditioning device 1000 further comprises an electric heating device 500. The electric heating device 500 can be arranged in the first air duct 206 and / or on the air outlet module 100. That is, the electric heating device 500 can be arranged only in the first air duct 206, only on the air outlet module 100, or on both the first air duct 206 and the air outlet module 100.
[0103] In the dehumidification process, the electric heating device 500 can be turned on to heat the air flow blown into the room through the electric heating device 500, so as to realize constant temperature dehumidification. Moreover, since the heating by the refrigerant alone needs a period of time to make the indoor temperature rise to the preset value, the electric heating device 500 is additionally provided to play a role of preheating, auxiliary heating and rapid temperature rising when heating.
[0104] In some embodiments, the air conditioning device 1000 further comprises a sterilization module. The sterilization module can be an ion sterilization module, an ultraviolet lamp sterilization module, etc. The sterilization module can be arranged in the first air duct 206 and / or the air outlet module 100. That is, the sterilization module can be arranged only in the first air duct 206, and can also be arranged only on the air outlet module 100, and can also be arranged on both the first air duct 206 and the air outlet module 100. Thus, the indoor air containing bacteria can be sterilized by the sterilization module before being sent back to the room, so as to realize the purification of the air.
[0105] According to some embodiments of the present application, the air conditioning device 1000 is provided with a lighting lamp. The lighting lamp can be arranged on the air outlet module 100 or the main module 200. Thus, the lighting of the room (for example, the bathroom) can be realized.
[0106] In some embodiments of the present application, a filter screen or an air inlet grille is arranged at the indoor air inlet 602. The filter screen or the air inlet grille can be used to filter the air entering the ceiling, so that the air entering the first air duct 206 and the second air duct 207 can be filtered, so as to realize the purification of the air.
[0107] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the air outlet module 100 comprises a housing 1, an air outlet component 2 and a first driving mechanism 3.
[0108] Referring to Figure 10 and Figure 11The shell 1 can include a panel 11, a side plate 12 and a top plate 13, wherein the side plate 12 is arranged on the panel 11, and the top plate 13 is arranged on a side of the side plate 12 away from the panel 11. The panel 11, the side plate 12 and the top plate 13 can be separate parts, which are mounted together to form the shell 1. Alternatively, the side plate 12 and the top plate 13 are integrally formed, and the side plate 12 is mounted together with the panel 11 to form the shell 1. Alternatively, the panel 11 and the side plate 12 are integrally formed, and the top plate 13 is mounted together with the side plate 12 to form the shell 1. A part of the ceiling surface 600 can be formed as the panel 11, or the panel 11 can be a plate body arranged on the ceiling surface 600 and independent of the ceiling surface 600. The top plate 13 is arranged on a side of the side plate 12 away from the panel 11. An installation space is defined in the shell 1. An installation opening 111 can be formed on the shell 1, and the air outlet component 2 is rotatably arranged at the installation opening 111. The air outlet component 2 is formed with a main air outlet 211.
[0109] Specifically, the installation opening 111 can be formed on the panel 11, and the air outlet component 2 can rotate about a central axis of the installation opening 111. That is, the air outlet component 2 in the present application can rotate as a whole, so that when the air conditioning device 1000 is working, the air supply direction can be adjusted by rotating the air outlet component 2, thereby realizing the purpose that the air outlet module 100 of the air conditioning device 1000 can adjust the air supply direction at will, and thereby realizing multi-directional air supply.
[0110] The first driving mechanism 3 is used to drive the air outlet component 2 to rotate. When the first driving mechanism 3 is working, the air outlet component 2 can be driven to rotate by the first driving mechanism 3, thereby conveniently adjusting the air outlet direction of the air outlet module 100, so that the air outlet module 100 can realize multi-directional air supply without dead angle, and the comfort of the air conditioning device 1000 is improved.
[0111] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 10 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 15 and Figure 16 , the first driving mechanism 3 can include a first driving member 31 and a first gear 32. Optionally, the first driving member 31 can be an electric motor, but is not limited thereto. The outer periphery of the air outlet component 2 is formed with a first tooth portion 2311, and the first gear 32 is formed with a second tooth portion 321 engaged with the first tooth portion 2311. The first driving member 31 is connected with the first gear 32 to drive the first gear 32 to rotate.
[0112] Referring to Figure 11 、 Figure 15 and Figure 16The outer periphery of the first gear 32 is formed with a second tooth portion 321. The first driving member 31 is connected with the first gear 32. For example, in some embodiments of the present application, the first gear 32 can be arranged on the driving shaft of the motor, and the motor can directly drive the first gear 31 to rotate.
[0113] It can be understood that, in some embodiments of the present application, the first driving member 31 can include a motor and at least one second gear. When the second gear is one, the second gear is arranged on the driving shaft of the motor and is engaged with the first gear 32. When the second gear is greater than or equal to two, one of the second gears is arranged on the driving shaft of the motor, and the other second gears are engaged and connected between the second gear (arranged on the driving shaft of the motor) and the first gear 32. At this time, the first driving member 31 can drive multiple second gears to rotate, thereby driving the first gear 32 to rotate.
[0114] When the first driving member 31 is working, it can drive the first gear 32 to rotate, thereby driving the air outlet component 2 to rotate. Thus, by arranging the first tooth portion 2311 on the air outlet component 2 and driving the first gear 32 engaged with the first tooth portion 2311 to rotate by the first driving member 31, the rotation of the air outlet component 2 can be conveniently realized, and the air outlet direction of the air outlet module 100 can be conveniently adjusted, so that the air outlet module 100 can realize multi-directional air supply without dead angle, and the comfort of the air conditioning equipment 1000 is improved.
[0115] According to some embodiments of the present application, the air outlet component 2 includes a bottom plate 21 and a side wall 22. As shown in Figure 11 , the bottom plate 21 can be formed as a circular plate structure, and the side wall 22 surrounds the outer periphery of the bottom plate 21. The main air outlet 211 can be formed on the bottom plate 21. Among them, the side wall 22 is provided with a folding structure 23 folded outward. Here, it should be noted that the direction "out" described in the present application refers to the direction away from the center of the shell 1 or the direction away from the central axis of the air outlet component 2, and accordingly, the direction "in" described in the present application refers to the direction close to the center of the shell 1 or the direction close to the central axis of the air outlet component 2.
[0116] Referring to Figure 13 , Figure 13a , Figure 14 and Figure 14a , the end of the side wall 22 away from the bottom plate 21 is provided with a folding structure 23 folded outward, and the folding structure 23 can be arranged on the shell 1. Specifically, the folding structure 23 is located on the side of the side wall 22 away from the central axis of the air outlet component 2. The folding structure 23 can abut against the shell 1. Thus, the air outlet component 2 can be supported by the shell 1, so that the position of the air outlet component 2 is stable, and the structure is simple and convenient to process.
[0117] In some embodiments of the present application, the first tooth portion 2311 is formed on the outer periphery of the folding structure 23. Referring to Figure 13 , Figure 13a , Figure 14 and Figure 14a , the first tooth portion 2311 can be formed on the end face of the folding structure 23 away from the side wall 22. In this way, the first tooth portion 2311 can be conveniently formed on the air outlet component 2, and the structure is simple and convenient to process.
[0118] According to some embodiments of the present application, the outer diameter of the first gear 32 is smaller than the outer diameter of the folding structure 23. In this way, the rotational moment of the first driving member 31 can be reduced, so that the volume of the first driving member 31 can be reduced, which is beneficial to reducing the occupied space of the first driving mechanism 3.
[0119] In some embodiments of the present application, the first driving mechanism 3 comprises the first driving member 31, and at this time the connecting bracket 4 can be arranged on the air outlet component 2, and the first driving member 31 can be directly connected with the connecting bracket 4 to drive the air outlet component 2 to rotate.
[0120] Specifically, referring to Figures 22-24 , Figure 26 and Figure 27 , the connecting bracket 4 can comprise a first support portion 41, a main body portion 42 and a second support portion 43, the first support portion 41 and the second support portion 43 are respectively arranged on both sides of the main air outlet 211, one end of the main body portion 42 is connected with the first support portion 41, the other end of the main body portion 42 is connected with the second support portion 43, and the main body portion 42 is arranged spaced apart from the plane where the main air outlet is located. Optionally, the first support portion 41 and the second support portion 43 are respectively arranged on both sides in the width direction of the main air outlet 211. In this way, the interference of the connecting bracket 4 to the main air outlet 211 can be reduced, so that the air supply amount of the air outlet module 100 can be ensured.
[0121] The first driving member 31 is connected with the connecting bracket 4 to drive the air outlet component 2 to rotate. In this way, by arranging the connecting bracket 4 on the air outlet component 2, the first driving member 31 is connected with the connecting bracket 4, so that when the first driving member 31 works, the air outlet component 2 can be driven to rotate by the first driving member 31, and the air outlet direction of the air outlet module 100 can be conveniently adjusted, so that the air outlet module 100 can realize multi-directional air supply without dead angle, and the comfort of the air conditioning equipment 1000 is improved.
[0122] In some embodiments of the present application, the housing 1 is provided with a fixing seat 5, the first driving member 31 is arranged on the fixing seat 5, and the first driving shaft passes through the fixing seat 5 and is connected with the connecting bracket 4.
[0123] As Figures 25-28As shown, the fixing seat 5 can be arranged on the panel 11. The fixing seat 5 forms a avoiding space in the area opposite to the main air outlet component 2 to avoid interference between the fixing seat 5 and the air outlet component 2. The first driving member 31 can be arranged on the side of the fixing seat 5 away from the bottom plate 21. Specifically, the fixing seat 5 can be provided with a matching hole 53, and the first driving shaft passes through the matching hole 53 on the fixing seat 5 and is connected with the connecting bracket 4. Thus, the first driving member 31 can be stably and reliably fixed on the shell 1 through the fixing seat 5 arranged on the shell 1, so that the first driving member 31 can drive the air outlet component 2 to run stably, the overall reliability of the air outlet module 100 is improved, and the structure is simple and the assembly is convenient.
[0124] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 26-28 As shown, the fixing seat 5 includes the first fixing member 51 and the second fixing member 52 arranged in cross, and the first driving member 31 is arranged at the cross position of the first fixing member 51 and the second fixing member 52. The matching hole 53 on the fixing seat 5 can be formed at the cross position.
[0125] As shown in Figures 26-28 The first fixing member 51 and the second fixing member 52 can be generally formed in the shape of an arch bridge. Specifically, the first fixing member 51 includes a first fixing part 511, a second fixing part 512 and a third fixing part 513, the first fixing part 511 and the second fixing part 512 are arranged on the panel 11 of the shell 1, and the first fixing part 511 and the second fixing part 512 can be arranged opposite in the radial direction of the mounting port 111. The third fixing part 513 is arranged on the first fixing part 511 and the second fixing part 512. The first fixing part 511 and the second fixing part 512 can be locked on the panel 11 by screws. The structure and size of the second fixing member 52 can be the same as those of the first fixing member 51.
[0126] Thus, by arranging the fixing seat 5 to include the first fixing member 51 and the second fixing member 52 arranged in cross, the stability of the fixing seat 5 is improved, thereby improving the position stability of the first driving member 31, and facilitating the coaxial arrangement of the driving shaft of the first driving member 31 with the air outlet component 2, so that the air outlet component 2 can rotate stably and reliably around its own center axis under the driving of the first driving member 31.
[0127] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 19-21 The first driving member 31 is arranged outside the air duct formed by the air outlet device 100. The air duct formed by the air outlet device 100 is the space through which the airflow flows after entering the air outlet device 100. The first driving member 31 is connected with the connecting bracket 4 through the connecting rod 62. As shown in Figure 21As shown, the first driving member 31 is arranged outside the shell 1, and the two ends of the connecting rod 62 are fixedly connected with the connecting support 4 and the first driving member 31 respectively. In this way, when the first driving member 31 works, the connecting support 4 can be driven to rotate through the connecting rod 62, and then the whole air outlet component 2 is driven to rotate. Since a large amount of heat is generated when the first driving member 31 works, in the embodiment, the first driving member 31 is arranged outside the air duct formed by the air outlet device 100, so that the heat dissipation performance of the first driving member 31 is effectively improved, and the service life of the first driving member 31 is prolonged.
[0128] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 19-21 As shown, the air outlet module 100 is provided with a pipe joint 61, and the first driving member 31 can be arranged on the pipe joint 61. The connecting rod 62 is formed in a strip shape, one end of the length direction of the connecting rod 62 is connected with the first driving member 31, and the other end of the length direction of the connecting rod 62 is connected with the connecting support 4. The structure is simple and convenient to assemble.
[0129] According to some embodiments of the present application, the folding structure 23 can include a first flange 231. As shown in Figure 13 、 Figure 13a and Figure 27 As shown, one end of the first flange 231 is connected with the side wall 22, and the other end of the first flange 231 extends in a direction away from the central axis of the air outlet component 2. In this way, the air outlet component 2 is facilitated to cooperate with the shell 1, and the air outlet component 2 is supported by the shell 1 to avoid being pulled out from the mounting port 111.
[0130] The first flange 231 and the side wall 22 can be an integral molding structure or a split structure, and when the first flange 231 and the side wall 22 are a split structure, the first flange 231 and the side wall 22 can be connected together by means of bolt connection, clamping or the like.
[0131] According to some embodiments of the present application, the outer diameter of the first gear 32 is smaller than the outer diameter of the first flange 231. In this way, the rotation torque of the first driving member 31 can be reduced, so that the volume of the first driving member 31 can be reduced, and the occupied space of the first driving mechanism 3 can be reduced.
[0132] In some embodiments of the present application, the folding structure 23 further includes a second flange 232, the second flange 232 is connected with the first flange 231 and the second flange 232 is opposite to the side wall 22. In the embodiment, the first flange 231 can be arranged on the shell 1, or the second flange 232 can be arranged on the shell 1.
[0133] As shown in Figure 13 and Figure 27As shown, the first flange 231 and the second flange 232 can define a limiting groove therebetween, and the shell 1 can be provided with a structure adapted to extend into the limiting groove and cooperate with the limiting groove, so as to limit the outflow component 2 in the circumferential direction, avoid shaking of the outflow component 2 when rotating, and avoid disengagement of the outflow component 2 from the shell 1, so that the operation of the outflow component 2 is more stable.
[0134] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 21a As shown, the folded structure 23 further comprises a plurality of rolling members 233. In the present application, the plurality refers to two or more. The plurality of rolling members 233 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the outflow component 2, and the two ends of each rolling member 233 are rotatably connected to the side wall 22 and the second flange 232, respectively. That is, the two ends of each rolling member 233 are rotatably connected to the side wall 22 and the second flange 232, respectively, and the rolling member 233 is in rolling cooperation with the shell 1.
[0135] Specifically, referring to Figure 21a The rolling member 233 can comprise a rolling portion 2331, which can be generally cylindrical. The two axial ends of the rolling portion 2331 are respectively provided with rolling shafts 2332, and the side wall 22 and the second flange 232 are respectively provided with shaft holes 2333 cooperating with the rolling shafts 2332, and the rolling shafts 2332 are rotatably arranged in the shaft holes 2333. Thus, by providing the rolling member 233, the rolling member 233 is in rolling cooperation with the shell 1, so that the friction between the folded structure 23 and the shell 1 is rolling friction, greatly reducing the friction between the folded structure 23 and the shell 1, reducing the wear between the folded structure 23 and the shell 1, and reducing the noise generated when the outflow component 2 rotates.
[0136] According to some embodiments of the present application, the shell 1 comprises a third flange 73. In some embodiments, the third flange 73 can be formed on the panel 11, and in other embodiments, the third flange 73 can be formed on the top plate 13 or the side plate 12. Referring to Figure 13a and Figure 14aThe third flange 73 is inwardly folded from the mounting port 111 of the shell 1. In the embodiment, it can be understood that the third flange 73 is folded from the mounting port 111 of the panel 11 to the side of the top plate 13; in other embodiments, it can also be understood that the third flange 73 is folded from the side of the panel 11 corresponding to the mounting port 111 of the top plate 13. The third flange 73 and the side wall 22 define an auxiliary air outlet channel 74. At least one of the folding structure 23, the side wall 22 and the third flange 73 is provided with an auxiliary air outlet 75 communicating with the auxiliary air outlet channel 74. That is, the auxiliary air outlet 75 can be provided only on the folding structure 23, only on the side wall 22, only on the third flange 73, or on any two or three of the folding structure 23, the side wall 22 and the third flange 73. Thus, by providing the auxiliary air outlet 75, the air supply amount of the air outlet device 100 can be increased, and the air supply range of the air outlet device 100 can be expanded, which is beneficial to improve the uniformity of indoor temperature.
[0137] For example, in some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 15 and Figure 16 , the auxiliary air outlet 75 is formed on the first flange 231. The auxiliary air outlet 75 can be annular, and the auxiliary air outlet 75 can be grating-shaped. In other words, the auxiliary air outlet 75 includes a plurality of sub-air outlets arranged on at least one of the first flange 231, the side wall 22 and the third flange 73. Thus, by providing the auxiliary air outlet 75 on the first flange 231, the distance between the auxiliary air outlet 75 and the auxiliary air outlet channel 74 can be reduced, which is beneficial to reduce air flow resistance and reduce air outlet noise.

[0139] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 13 andFigure 14 As shown, the first flange 231 can be arranged on the third flange 73, and the second flange 232 can surround the outer periphery of the third flange 73. At this time, the third flange 73 can be matched with the first flange 231 to support the air outlet component 2, and the second flange 232 can be matched with the third flange 73 to limit the air outlet component 2 in the circumferential direction, so as to avoid shaking of the air outlet component 2 during rotation and to avoid disengagement of the air outlet component 2 from the shell 1, thereby making the operation of the air outlet component 2 more stable. If the folding structure 23 further comprises a plurality of rolling members 233, the rolling members 233 can be arranged (for example, supported) on the third flange 73.

The support rib 71 can be arranged in the auxiliary air outlet channel 74 or upstream of the auxiliary air outlet channel 74. Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, the support rib 71 can be formed as an annular structure around the mounting port 111, and the support rib 71 is arranged on the panel 11. The support rib 71 and the panel 11 can be an integral structure, or the support rib 71 can be connected to the panel 11 by a connecting member (for example, welding, bolt connection, clamping), or the support rib 71 can be supported on the panel 11. The annular structure of the support rib 71 around the mounting port 111 can be understood as follows: the support rib 71 surrounds the central axis of the mounting port 111, and the orthographic projection of the support rib 71 at the mounting port 111 (for example, the plane where the mounting port 111 is located) can be inside or outside the mounting port 111. In other embodiments, the support rib 71 can also be formed on the top plate 13 or the side plate 12.

Thus, the air outlet component 2 can be supported by the support rib 71, so that the position of the air outlet component 2 is more stable.
[0141] In some embodiments of the present application, the support rib 71 is connected to the third flange 73 by a connecting rib 72, and the folding structure 23 is arranged on the support rib 71.
