In addition, the present invention provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those skilled in the art will appreciate the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.
[0068] The following describes an air outlet device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. The air outlet device 100 can be used in an air conditioning device 1000, which can be an air conditioner, such as a bathroom air conditioner, a bathroom heater, a sanitary air conditioner, or a kitchen air conditioner. The air conditioning device 1000 can be installed on a ceiling surface 600 in a room such as a bathroom, toilet, or kitchen.
[0069] The air outlet device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing 1, an air outlet component 2, a connecting bracket 4, and a first driving member 31. Optionally, the first driving member 31 can be a motor, but is not limited thereto.
[0070] Reference Figure 1 The housing 1 may include a panel 11, side panels 12 and a top panel 13, wherein the side panels 12 are provided on the panel 11, and the top panel 13 is provided on a side of the side panel 12 away from the panel 11. The panel 11, the side panels 12 and the top panel 13 may be separate parts, which are assembled together to form the housing 1; or the side panels 12 and the top panel 13 may be an integrally formed structure, and the side panels 12 and the panel 11 may be assembled together to form the housing 1; or the panel 11 and the side panels 12 may be an integrally formed structure, and the top panel 13 and the side panels 12 may be assembled together to form the housing 1. A portion of the ceiling surface 600 may be formed as the panel 11, or the panel 11 may be a plate body arranged on the ceiling surface 600 and independent of the ceiling surface 600.
[0071] Please combine Figure 3 and Figure 10 , an installation space is defined in the shell 1. A mounting opening 111 may be formed on the shell 1, and the air outlet component 2 may be rotatably provided at the mounting opening 111, and a main air outlet 211 is formed on the air outlet component 2. Specifically, the mounting opening 111 may be formed on the panel 11, and the air outlet component 2 may rotate around the central axis of the mounting opening 111. In other words, the air outlet component 2 in the present application may rotate as a whole, so that when the air conditioning device 1000 is working, the air supply direction may be adjusted by rotating the air outlet component 2, thereby achieving the purpose of the air outlet device 100 of the air conditioning device 1000 being able to arbitrarily adjust the air supply direction, thereby achieving multi-directional air supply.
[0072] The connecting bracket 4 is arranged on the air outlet component 2. For example, the connecting bracket 4 can span the main air outlet 211. Figure 4-Figure 6 and Figure 10 The connecting bracket 4 is relatively fixed to the air outlet component 2, that is, the connecting bracket 4 and the air outlet component 2 do not move relative to each other. The portion of the connecting bracket 4 that faces the main air outlet 211 is spaced apart from the main air outlet to form a relief structure to prevent the connecting bracket 4 from interfering with the main air outlet 211 and other components.
[0073] Specifically, if Figure 4As shown, the connecting bracket 4 may include 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 either side of the main air outlet 211. One end of the main body portion 42 is connected to the first support portion 41, and the other end of the main body portion 42 is connected to the second support portion 43. The main body portion 42 is spaced apart from the plane of the main air outlet. Optionally, the first support portion 41 and the second support portion 43 are respectively arranged on either side of the width direction of the main air outlet 211. This can reduce the interference of the connecting bracket 4 with the main air outlet 211, thereby ensuring the air supply volume of the air outlet device 100.
[0074] The first driving member 31 is connected to the connecting bracket 4. The first driving member 31 is used to drive the air outlet component 2 to rotate via the connecting bracket 4. Thus, by providing the connecting bracket 4 on the air outlet component 2, the first driving member 31 is connected to the connecting bracket 4. When the first driving member 31 is in operation, the air outlet component 2 can be driven to rotate by the first driving member 31. This allows for convenient adjustment of the air outlet direction of the air outlet device 100, enabling the air outlet device 100 to achieve multi-directional air delivery without blind spots, thereby improving the comfort of the air conditioning equipment 1000.
[0075] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first driving member 31 may further include a motor and a transmission assembly, the transmission assembly may include at least a driving gear and a driven gear, the driving gear and the driven gear are transmission-connected, the driven gear is connected to the connecting bracket 4, the motor is connected to the driving gear, and the motor drives the driving gear to rotate to drive the driven gear and the connecting bracket 4 to rotate.
[0076] According to the air outlet device 100 of the first embodiment of the present invention, a connecting bracket 4 is provided on the air outlet component 2, so that the first driving member 31 is connected to the connecting bracket 4, so that the air outlet component 2 is driven to rotate by the first driving member 31, and then the air outlet direction of the air outlet device 100 can be conveniently adjusted, so that the air outlet device 100 can achieve multi-directional air supply requirements without dead angles, thereby improving the comfort of the air conditioning equipment 1000.
[0077] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet component 2 includes: a bottom plate 21 and a side wall 22. Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the bottom plate 21 can be formed into 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. The side wall 22 is provided with a folding structure 23 that folds outward, and the folding structure 23 can be set on the housing 1.
[0078] Here, it should be noted that the direction "outside" described in this 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. Correspondingly, the direction "inside" described in this 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.
[0079] Specifically, if Figure 3a As shown, 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 housing 1. As a result, the air outlet component 2 can be supported by the housing 1, making the position of the air outlet component 2 stable, the structure simple, and easy to manufacture.
[0080] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the folding structure 23 may include: a first flange 231. Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, one end of the first flange 231 is connected to 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. This facilitates the mating of the air outlet component 2 with the housing 1, and the housing 1 supports the air outlet component 2, preventing the air outlet component 2 from falling out of the mounting opening 111.
[0081] The first flange 231 and the side wall 22 can be an integrally formed structure or a separate structure. When the first flange 231 and the side wall 22 are separate structures, the first flange 231 and the side wall 22 can be connected together by bolt connection, clamping, etc.
[0082] In other embodiments of the present invention, the folding structure 23 further includes a second flange 232, which is connected to the first flange 231 and opposite the side wall 22. In this embodiment, a retaining groove can be defined between the first flange 231 and the second flange 232. The housing 1 can be provided with a structure adapted to extend into and engage with the retaining groove to limit the circumferential position of the air outlet component 2, thereby preventing the air outlet component 2 from shaking during rotation and preventing the air outlet component 2 from becoming disengaged from the housing 1, thereby ensuring smoother operation of the air outlet component 2.
[0083] For example, in some specific embodiments of the present invention, a support rib 71 can be provided on the housing 1, and the first flange 231 can be supported on the support rib 71, and the second flange 232 can be arranged around the outer periphery of the support rib 71. In this embodiment, the support rib 71 is an annular structure surrounding the mounting opening 111, and the support rib 71 is provided 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 via a connector (e.g., welding, bolting, or clamping), or the support rib 71 can be supported on the panel 11. The support rib 71 being an annular structure surrounding the mounting opening 111 can be understood as follows: the support rib 71 surrounds the central axis of the mounting opening 111, and the orthographic projection of the support rib 71 at the mounting opening 111 (e.g., the plane where the mounting opening 111 is located) can be inside or outside the mounting opening 111. In other embodiments, the support rib 71 can also be formed on the top plate 13 or the side plate 12. At this time, the support rib 71 can cooperate with the first flange 231 to support the air outlet component 2. At the same time, the second flange 232 can cooperate with the support rib 71 to limit the circumferential position of the air outlet component 2, thereby preventing the air outlet component 2 from shaking when rotating and preventing the air outlet component 2 from being out of coordination with the support rib 71, so that the operation of the air outlet component 2 is more stable.
[0084] In other embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3a As shown, the folding structure 23 also includes multiple rolling members 233. In this application, "multiple" refers to two or more. The multiple rolling members 233 are spaced apart circumferentially around the air outlet component 2. Each rolling member 233 has two ends rotatably connected to the side wall 22 and the second flange 232. In other words, each rolling member 233 has two ends rotatably connected to the side wall 22 and the second flange 232, and the rolling members 233 roll in engagement with the support rib 71.
[0085] Specifically, refer to Figure 3a The rolling element 233 may include a rolling portion 2331, which may be generally cylindrical. Rolling shafts 2332 are provided at both axial ends of the rolling portion 2331. Axial holes 2333 that cooperate with the rolling shafts 2332 are provided on the sidewall 22 and the second flange 232, respectively. The rolling shafts 2332 are rotatably disposed within the shaft holes 2333. Thus, by providing the rolling element 233, the rolling element 233 and the support rib 71 are engaged in a rolling manner, thereby enabling the friction between the folding structure 23 and the support rib 71 to be rolling friction. This greatly reduces the friction between the folding structure 23 and the support rib 71, reduces wear between the folding structure 23 and the support rib 71, and reduces the noise generated when the air outlet component 2 rotates.
[0086] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the housing 1 includes a third flange 73. In some embodiments, it can be understood that the third flange 73 is formed on the panel 11. In other embodiments, it can also be understood that the third flange 73 is formed on the top plate 13 or the side plate 12. Figure 3a The third flange 73 is formed by folding inward from the mounting opening 111 of the housing 1. In this embodiment, it can be understood that the third flange 73 is formed by folding from the mounting opening 111 of the panel 11 toward the top plate 13. In other embodiments, it can also be understood that the third flange 73 is formed by folding from the portion of the top plate 13 corresponding to the mounting opening 111 toward the panel 11. An auxiliary air outlet channel 74 is defined between the third flange 73 and the side wall 22. An auxiliary air outlet 75 communicating with the auxiliary air outlet channel 74 is provided on at least one of the folding structure 23, the side wall 22, and the third flange 73. In other words, the auxiliary air outlet 75 can be provided only on the folding structure 23, the side wall 22, the third flange 73, or any two or three of the folding structure 23, the side wall 22, and the third flange 73. Therefore, by providing the auxiliary air outlet 75, the air supply volume 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 improving the uniformity of the indoor temperature.
[0087] For example, in some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the auxiliary air outlet 75 is formed on the first flange 231. The auxiliary air outlet 75 can be formed in a ring shape, or in a grille shape. In other words, the auxiliary air outlet 75 includes multiple sub-air outlets spaced apart on at least one of the first flange 231, the sidewall 22, and the third flange 73. Therefore, 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 helps reduce airflow resistance and reduce air outlet noise.
[0088] In other embodiments, the folding structure 23 is spaced apart from the third flange 73 to form an auxiliary air outlet 75 communicating with the auxiliary air outlet channel 74. In this case, the auxiliary air outlet 75 communicating with the auxiliary air outlet channel 74 may not be provided on the folding structure 23 and / or the side wall 22. Alternatively, the auxiliary air outlet 75 communicating with the auxiliary air outlet channel 74 may also be provided on the folding structure 23 and / or the side wall 22. Specifically, the folding structure 23 is spaced apart from the third flange 73 to form the auxiliary air outlet 75 communicating with the auxiliary air outlet channel 74. In one embodiment, the second flange 232 may be spaced apart from the third flange 73 to form the auxiliary air outlet 75 communicating with the auxiliary air outlet channel 74. In another embodiment, the first flange 231 may be spaced apart from the third flange 73 to form the auxiliary air outlet 75 communicating with the auxiliary air outlet channel 74.
[0089] According to some embodiments of the present invention, see Figure 3a In the direction from the first flange 231 to the bottom plate 21 (ie, in the air outlet direction of the auxiliary air outlet channel 74 ), the third flange 73 and / or the side wall 22 extend in a direction away from the central axis of the air outlet component 2 .
[0090] That is, in the direction from the first flange 231 to the bottom plate 21, the third flange 73 extends away from the central axis of the air outlet component 2. The third flange 73 can be formed in an arc, a straight line, or a combination of an arc and a straight line. Alternatively, in the direction from the first flange 231 to the bottom plate 21, the sidewall 22 extends away from the central axis of the air outlet component 2. The sidewall 22 can be formed in an arc, a straight line, or a combination of an arc and a straight line. Alternatively, in the direction from the first flange 231 to the bottom plate 21, both the third flange 73 and the sidewall 22 extend away from the central axis of the air outlet component 2.
[0091] like Figure 3a and Figure 6 As shown, the auxiliary air outlet channel 74 can be generally formed into a trumpet shape, and the auxiliary air outlet channel 74 can generally guide the air to be discharged in a direction away from the main air outlet 211. In this way, the air supply range of the auxiliary air outlet channel 74 can be increased, thereby further increasing the air supply range of the air outlet device 100.
[0092] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first flange 231 can be disposed on the third flange 73, and the second flange 232 can surround the outer circumference of the third flange 73. In this case, the third flange 73 cooperates with the first flange 231 to support the air outlet component 2. Simultaneously, the second flange 232 cooperates with the third flange 73 to limit the circumferential position of the air outlet component 2, preventing it from shaking during rotation and disengaging from the housing 1, thereby ensuring smoother operation of the air outlet component 2. If the folding structure 23 also includes multiple rolling elements 233, the rolling elements 233 can be disposed (e.g., supported) on the third flange 73.
[0093] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the housing 1 includes a support rib 71, which is disposed around the mounting opening 111. The support rib 71 can be disposed within the auxiliary air outlet duct 74 or upstream of the auxiliary air outlet duct 74. Specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, the support rib 71 can be formed as an annular structure surrounding the mounting opening 111 and disposed on the panel 11. The support rib 71 and the panel 11 can be integrally formed, or connected to the panel 11 via a connector (e.g., welding, bolting, or snap-fitting), or supported on the panel 11. The annular structure of the support rib 71 surrounding the mounting opening 111 can be understood as: the support rib 71 surrounds the central axis of the mounting opening 111, and the orthographic projection of the support rib 71 at the mounting opening 111 (e.g., the plane where the mounting opening 111 lies) can be within or outside the mounting opening 111. In other embodiments, the support rib 71 can also be formed on the top panel 13 or the side panel 12. The folding structure 23 is arranged on the support rib 71 and can rotate relative to the support rib 71. Therefore, 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.
[0094] In some embodiments of the present invention, the support rib 71 is connected to the third flange 73 via a connecting rib 72, and the connecting rib 72 is further provided with a connecting hole 721 connected to the auxiliary air outlet channel 74. Figure 3a As shown, the connecting rib 72 extends generally horizontally, with one end of the connecting rib 72 connected to the third flange 73, and the other end of the connecting rib 72 connected to the support rib 71. The support rib 71 may extend generally vertically. The communication hole may be a through-hole formed in the connecting rib 72. Since the connecting rib 72 partially blocks the auxiliary air outlet channel 74, providing the communication hole in the connecting rib 72 can reduce the area blocked by the connecting rib 72, thereby ensuring the air output of the auxiliary air outlet channel 74.
[0095] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a fixing seat 5 is provided on the housing 1 , and the fixing seat 5 spans the mounting opening 111 . The first driving member 31 is provided on the fixing seat 5 , and the first driving shaft passes through the fixing seat 5 and is connected to the connecting bracket 4 .
[0096] like Figures 9-11 As shown, the fixing seat 5 can be set on the panel 11. The area opposite to the fixing seat 5 and the main air outlet component 2 forms an avoidance space to avoid interference between the fixing seat 5 and the air outlet component 2. Among them, the first driving member 31 can be set on the side of the fixing seat 5 away from the bottom plate 21. Specifically, a matching hole 53 can be provided on the fixing seat 5, and the first driving shaft of the first driving member 31 passes through the matching hole 53 on the fixing seat 5 and is connected to the connecting bracket 4. Thus, the first driving member 31 can be stably and reliably fixed to the shell 1 by the fixing seat 5 provided on the shell 1, so that the first driving member 31 can drive the air outlet component 2 to operate smoothly, thereby improving the overall reliability of the air outlet device 100, and the structure is simple and easy to assemble.
[0097] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figures 9-11 The fixing base 5 includes a first fixing member 51 and a second fixing member 52 arranged crosswise, and the first driving member 31 is arranged at the intersection of the first fixing member 51 and the second fixing member 52. The matching hole 53 on the fixing base 5 can be formed at the intersection.
[0098] like Figures 9-11 As shown, the first fixing member 51 and the second fixing member 52 can both be formed roughly into an arch bridge shape. Specifically, the first fixing member 51 includes a first fixing portion 511, a second fixing portion 512 and a third fixing portion 513. The first fixing portion 511 and the second fixing portion 512 are arranged on the panel 11 of the housing 1, and the first fixing portion 511 and the second fixing portion 512 can be arranged opposite to each other in the radial direction of the mounting opening 111. The third fixing portion 513 is mounted on the first fixing portion 511 and the second fixing portion 512. The first fixing portion 511 and the second fixing portion 512 can be fastened to 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.
[0099] Therefore, by setting the fixing seat 5 to include a cross-arranged first fixing member 51 and a second fixing member 52, 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 first driving shaft and the air outlet component 2, so that the air outlet component 2 can rotate smoothly and reliably around its own central axis under the drive of the first driving member 31.
[0100] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first driving member 31 is disposed 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 air flows after entering the air outlet device 100. The first driving member 31 is connected to the connecting bracket 4 via a connecting rod 62. Figure 3 As shown, the first drive member 31 is disposed outside the housing 1, with the ends of the connecting rod 62 fixedly connected to the connecting bracket 4 and the first drive member 31, respectively. Thus, when the first drive member 31 is in operation, the connecting rod 62 can drive the connecting bracket 4 to rotate, thereby driving the entire air outlet component 2 to rotate. Because the first drive member 31 generates a large amount of heat during operation, this embodiment effectively improves the heat dissipation performance of the first drive member 31 by placing it outside the air duct formed by the air outlet device 100, which helps extend the service life of the first drive member 31.
[0101] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the air outlet device 100 is provided with a pipe joint 61, on which the first driving member 31 can be mounted. A connecting rod 62 is formed in an elongated strip shape, with one end of the connecting rod 62 connected to the first driving member 31 and the other end of the connecting rod 62 connected to the connecting bracket 4. This simple structure allows for easy assembly.
[0102] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet component 2 includes a bottom plate 21, and a main air outlet 211 is formed on the bottom plate 21. A connecting pipe 44 is provided on the connecting bracket 4, and the connecting pipe 44 and the bottom plate 21 are respectively located on opposite sides of the connecting bracket 4. In other words, the connecting pipe 44 is provided on the side of the connecting bracket 4 away from the bottom plate 21. The first driving member 31 is connected to the connecting pipe 44 to drive the air outlet component 2 to rotate. Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the connecting pipe 44 is formed into a hollow tubular structure, thereby facilitating the connection between the first driving member 31 and the connecting bracket 4 .
[0103] In some embodiments of the present invention, the axis of the connecting tube 44 coincides with the rotation axis of the bottom plate 21. The housing 1 includes a support beam 132, which is provided with a positioning hole 1321, and the connecting tube 44 is rotatably disposed in the positioning hole 1321.
[0104] Reference Figure 4 Combined with Figure 5The connecting tube 44 can be formed on the main body 42 of the connecting bracket 4, and is located on the side of the connecting bracket 4 away from the bottom plate 21. The connecting tube 44 can extend into the positioning hole 1321 and engage with the positioning hole 1321. Thus, the connection tube 44 and the positioning hole 1321 can be used to limit the position of the air outlet component 2, preventing it from shaking during rotation, making the rotation of the air outlet component 2 more stable, and improving the stability and reliability of the air outlet device 100.
[0105] In some embodiments of the present invention, an inlet 131 is formed on the housing 1, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the inlet 131 can be formed on the top plate 13. The support beam 132 is provided at the inlet 131, and the positioning hole 1321 is formed on the support beam 132. The structure is simple and the processing is convenient.
[0106] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet device 100 further includes an air guide assembly, which includes an air guide plate 8 and a second drive mechanism 9. The air guide plate 8 is pivotally disposed at the main air outlet 211, and the second drive mechanism 9 is connected to the air guide plate 8 to drive the air guide plate 8 to flip.
[0107] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air deflector 8 can be pivotally arranged at the main air outlet 211 through a pivot mechanism. Specifically, the pivot mechanism includes a pivot shaft 81 and a pivot hole 24. Figure 3 Combine Figure 3a The two ends of the air guide plate 8 in the longitudinal direction are respectively provided with pivot shafts 81, and the side wall 22 of the air outlet component 2 is provided with a pivot hole 24 that cooperates with the pivot shaft 81. In this way, the pivot movement of the air guide plate 8 can be easily achieved, and the structure is simple and easy to process.
[0108] Optionally, the air guide plate 8 is a multi-layer air guide plate 8. Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the air deflector 8 includes a first air deflector plate 82 and a plurality of second air deflector plates 83 stacked on the first air deflector plate 82. The first air deflector plate 82 is formed into a plate structure, while the second air deflector plates 83 are formed into an arched structure. Thus, by configuring the air deflector 8 as a multi-layered structure, the air supply range of the air deflector 8 can be increased.
[0109] When the air conditioning device 1000 is operating, the air outlet direction can be adjusted by adjusting the pivot angle of the air guide plate 8. When the air conditioning device 1000 is not operating, the main air outlet 211 can be closed by the air guide plate 8. Thus, by providing the air guide assembly, on the one hand, the air supply function can be achieved, and on the other hand, when the air conditioning device 1000 is not operating, the air flow can be prevented from entering the air duct of the air conditioning device 1000 through the main air outlet 211, thereby improving the cleanliness of the air duct of the air conditioning device 1000 and helping to extend the service life of the air conditioning device 1000.
[0110] In some embodiments of the present invention, when the air conditioning equipment 1000 is working, the first driving mechanism 3 can drive the air outlet component 2 to rotate as a whole to a certain angle, and then the second driving mechanism 9 can drive the air guide plate 8 to pivot to a certain angle to achieve the air supply requirement in a certain direction.
[0111] It is understandable that when the air conditioning equipment 1000 is working, the air outlet component 2 can also be kept in a rotating state, so that the air supply direction can be continuously changed, so that the air flow blown out from the air outlet device 100 can be blown to every corner of the room, thereby achieving a faster uniformity of the temperature in the room.
[0112] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second drive mechanism 9 includes a linkage mechanism 92 and a second drive member 91. Optionally, the second drive member 91 is a motor. The second drive member 91 and the air deflector 8 are each connected to the linkage mechanism 92. The second drive member 91 has a second drive shaft, which is connected to the linkage mechanism 92 via the second drive shaft. Thus, by providing the linkage mechanism 92, the installation position of the second drive member 91 can be adjusted, making the installation position of the second drive member 91 more flexible.
[0113] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the linkage mechanism 92 includes a drive gear 924 and a transmission gear 925 that mesh with each other. The drive gear 924 is connected to the second drive member 91, and the transmission gear 925 is connected to the air deflector 8. Optionally, the transmission gear 925 can be integrally formed with the air deflector 8. Thus, the installation position of the second drive member 91 can be changed by adjusting the location of the transmission gear 925 and the dimensions of the transmission gear 925 and the drive gear 924, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the second drive member 91 and providing greater flexibility in the installation position of the second drive member 91.
[0114] In other embodiments of the present invention, the linkage mechanism 92 may further include: a first connecting member 921, a second connecting member 922, and a third connecting member 923, wherein the first connecting member 921 is fixedly connected to the air deflector 8, the third connecting member 923 is fixedly connected to the second driving member 91, and the two ends of the second connecting member 922 are rotatably connected to the first connecting member 921 and the third connecting member 923, respectively. Therefore, by designing the structures of the first connecting member 921, the second connecting member 922, and the third connecting member 923, the installation position of the second driving member 91 can be adjusted, making the installation position of the second driving member 91 more flexible and reducing the difficulty of installing the second driving member 91. Figure 14 In some embodiments of the present invention, the first connecting member 921, the second connecting member 922 and the third connecting member 923 can be formed into a long rod-shaped structure.
[0115] Reference Figure 14 One longitudinal end of the first connecting member 921 is fixedly connected to the second driving member 91. In other words, the first connecting member 921 and the second driving member 91 cannot move relative to each other. The other longitudinal end of the first connecting member 921 is rotatably connected to one longitudinal end of the second connecting member 922. The other longitudinal end of the second connecting member 922 is rotatably connected to one longitudinal end of the third connecting member 923. The other longitudinal end of the third connecting member 923 is fixedly connected to the air deflector 8. In other words, the third connecting member 923 and the air deflector 8 cannot move relative to each other. One longitudinal end of the third connecting member 923 can be fixedly connected to the pivot shaft 81 of the air deflector 8.
[0116] In this way, when the second driving member 91 is in operation, it can drive the first connecting member 921 to rotate, the movement of the first connecting member 921 can drive the second connecting member 922 to rotate, the movement of the second connecting member 922 can drive the third connecting member 923 to rotate, and the rotation of the third connecting member 923 can drive the air deflector 8 to rotate. Therefore, by providing the linkage mechanism 92, the air deflector 8 can be driven to move conveniently and the assembly of the second driving member 91 is facilitated. During actual assembly, the installation position of the second driving member 91 can be adjusted by adjusting the length and assembly angle of the first connecting member 921 and the third connecting member 923, as well as the length of the second connecting member 922, making the assembly position of the second driving member 91 more flexible.
[0117] In some embodiments of the present invention, the second connecting member 922 may also include a plurality of sub-connecting rods, which may be connected in sequence, and two adjacent sub-connecting rods may be rotatably connected, thereby making the installation position of the second driving member 91 more flexible.
[0118] like Figure 10 and Figure 13As shown, in some further embodiments of the present invention, the first connecting member 921 is provided with a first rotating shaft 9211, the third connecting member 923 is provided with a second rotating shaft 9231, and the second connecting member 922 is provided with a first rotating hole 9221 that rotates with the first rotating shaft 9211 and a second rotating hole 9222 that rotates with the second rotating shaft 9231. Thus, the installation position of the second driving member 91 can be made more flexible, reducing the difficulty of installing the second driving member 91.
[0119] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the shell 1 is formed with an inlet 131, and the shell 1 also includes an air duct surrounding the installation port 111 and the inlet 131, and the first driving member 31 is located outside the air duct. The air duct is formed into a cylindrical structure, and the air duct can be connected between the installation port 111 and the inlet 131. Among them, the air flow entering the shell 1 through the inlet 131 can enter the air duct and flow to the installation port 111 through the air duct. Therefore, by arranging the air duct in the shell 1 and arranging the first driving member 31 outside the air duct, the first driving member 31 can be prevented from being affected by the temperature of the air flow in the air duct, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the first driving member 31; the air duct is connected between the installation port 111 and the inlet 131, so that the air flow entering the air outlet device 100 can be better guided to the outside of the air outlet device 100.
[0120] The air conditioning device 1000 according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes the air outlet device 100 of the air conditioning device 1000 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
[0121] According to the air conditioning equipment 1000 of the second embodiment of the present invention, the air outlet device 100 of the air conditioning equipment 1000 of the first embodiment is set, and the connecting bracket 4 is set on the air outlet component 2, so that the first driving member 31 is connected to the connecting bracket 4, so that the air outlet component 2 is driven to rotate by the first driving member 31, and the air outlet direction of the air outlet device 100 can be conveniently adjusted, so that the air outlet device 100 can achieve multi-directional air supply requirements without dead angles, thereby improving the comfort of the air conditioning equipment 1000.
[0122] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioning device 1000 may be an air conditioner, for example, a bathroom air conditioner, a bathroom heater, a sanitary air conditioner, a kitchen air conditioner, etc. The air conditioner may be installed in a bathroom, a kitchen, etc.
[0123] like Figure 15-Figure 22 As shown, the air conditioning device 1000 can be installed on the indoor ceiling surface 600. In this case, the air conditioning device 1000 can be located in the space defined by the ceiling, so that the bathroom 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 easy to ensure the beauty and cleanliness of the room.
[0124] Specifically, refer to Figure 15 and Figure 16 , an indoor air inlet 602 and an indoor air supply outlet 601 are formed on the ceiling surface 600. The air outlet device 100 can be arranged at the indoor air supply outlet 601. In some embodiments of the present invention, the specific sizes of the indoor air inlet 602 and the indoor air supply outlet 601 can be adjusted and designed according to the size strips of the ceiling. For example, the indoor air inlet 602 and the indoor air supply outlet 601 can be designed according to the more common size of the ceiling, 300mm*300mm, so that the original decoration does not need to be destroyed and the installation is convenient. 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 actual conditions. Specifically, the indoor air inlet 602 and the indoor air outlet can be arranged adjacent to each other, or they can be arranged spaced apart.
[0125] Air conditioning equipment 1000 also includes a main unit module 200. The main unit module 200 can be installed between the ceiling and a suspended ceiling using a hanger rod, resulting in a concealed installation that takes up minimal space and a clean appearance. The main unit module 200 includes a housing 20, a first fan 30, a first heat exchanger 40, a second fan 50, a second heat exchanger 60, and a compressor 70. The housing 20 provides mounting space for the first heat exchanger 40, the first fan 30, the second heat exchanger 60, the second fan 50, and the compressor 70.
[0126] It is understandable that in other embodiments of the present invention, the compressor 70 may also be disposed outside the casing 20 .
[0127] A first air duct 206 and a second air duct 207 separated from each other are formed in the casing 20. 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 the 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 the air flow from the second air inlet 2071 to the second air outlet 2072. The first air inlet 2061 is connected to the indoor air inlet 602, the second air outlet 2072 is connected to the outdoors, and the air outlet device 100 is connected to the first air outlet 2062. Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, an outdoor air outlet 701 communicating with the outside is formed on the wall 700 , and the second air outlet 2072 is communicated with the outdoor air outlet 701 .
[0128] The compressor 70 is disposed within the housing 20. A heat exchange path is formed between the compressor 70, the first heat exchanger 40, and the second heat exchanger 60. A refrigerant can flow within the heat exchange path to cool or heat the air conditioning device 1000. When both the first heat exchanger 40 and the second heat exchanger 60 are in operation, one of the first heat exchanger 40 and the second heat exchanger 60 serves as an evaporator and the other serves as a condenser.
[0129] 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 liquefy in the condenser, releasing heat, and vaporize in the evaporator, absorbing heat, thereby enabling the refrigeration cycle of the air conditioning equipment 1000 to proceed smoothly. For example, the first heat exchanger 40 and the second heat exchanger 60 can be connected via a four-way switching valve. By switching the four-way switching valve, the first heat exchanger 40 and the second heat exchanger 60 can switch between the evaporator and the condenser.
[0130] For example, when the air conditioning device 1000 is cooling, the first heat exchanger 40 is a condenser and the second heat exchanger 60 is an evaporator; when the air conditioning device 1000 is heating, the first heat exchanger 40 is an evaporator and the second heat exchanger 60 is a condenser.
[0131] It is understood that when the air conditioning device 1000 is cooling, driven by the first fan 30, the indoor hot air flows from the indoor air inlet 602 into the ceiling, then enters the first air duct 206 through the first air inlet 2061. The hot air exchanges heat with the first heat exchanger 40 as it passes through the first heat exchanger 40, becoming a cold air flow that flows to the first air outlet 2062. Thus, the cold air can flow from the first air outlet 2062 into the indoor room to cool the indoor temperature. To ensure that the cooling cycle of the air conditioning device 1000 can continue to operate, driven by the second fan 50, the indoor air also enters the second air duct 207 through the second air inlet 2071. The air flows through the second heat exchanger 60 as it passes through the second heat exchanger 60, undergoing heat exchange as it passes through the second heat exchanger 60, becoming a hot air flow that flows to the second air outlet 2072. Thus, the air that has undergone heat exchange in the second heat exchanger 60 can be discharged to the outside through the second air outlet 2072.
[0132] When the air conditioning device 1000 is heating, driven by the first fan 30, indoor cold air flows from the indoor air inlet 602 into the ceiling, then enters the first air duct 206 through the first air inlet 2061. The cold air exchanges heat with the first heat exchanger 40 as it passes through the first heat exchanger 40, becoming hot air before flowing to the first air outlet 2062. The hot air can then flow from the first air outlet 2062 into the indoor room, heating the room. To ensure the continuous operation of the heating cycle of the air conditioning device 1000, driven by the second fan 50, indoor air also enters the second air duct 207 through the second air inlet 2071. The air then exchanges heat with the second heat exchanger 60 as it passes through the second heat exchanger 60, becoming cold air before flowing to the second air outlet 2072. The air, having undergone heat exchange in the second heat exchanger 60, can then be discharged to the outside through the second air outlet 2072.
[0133] It can be understood that when the air-conditioning equipment 1000 is working, when only the second fan 50 is turned on, the compressor 70 and the first fan 30 are not working, and the indoor air can enter the ceiling and enter the second air duct 207 through the second air inlet 2071, and then be discharged to the outside through the second air outlet 2072. At this time, the exhaust function can be realized.
[0134] Thus, by defining separate first and second air ducts 206 and 207 within the housing 20, and disposing a first heat exchanger 40 and a first fan 30 within the first air duct 206, and a second heat exchanger 60 and a second fan 50 within the second air duct 207, the indoor and outdoor units of the conventional split-type air conditioner 1000 are integrated into one unit, achieving both cooling and heating functions. Furthermore, during installation, the air conditioner 1000 can be integrally installed indoors, resulting in a simple and convenient structure. Furthermore, the simple air duct structure of the air conditioner 1000 reduces the overall volume of the air conditioner 1000, miniaturizing the air conditioner module and facilitating its installation by embedding it in the ceiling of a room (e.g., a bathroom) for concealed installation. Furthermore, since the air outlet device 100 and the main unit module 200 are separate components, the installation locations of the air outlet device 100 and the main unit module 200 can be flexibly arranged, resulting in a wide range of installation options for the air conditioner 1000 with fewer restrictions and greater flexibility.
[0135] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet device 100 is connected to the first air outlet 2062 through a first flexible duct 300. Optionally, the first flexible duct 300 is a flexible bellows. The length of the first flexible duct 300 can be extended and can be bent to adapt to installation requirements in different positions. The diameter of the first flexible duct 300 can be 80mm~150mm. For example, the diameter of the first flexible duct 300 can be 100mm. In this way, the difficulty of connecting the air outlet device 100 and the first air outlet 2062 can be reduced, and the setting position of the air outlet device 100 and the host module 200 can be made to have a wide range of options and few restrictions, making the installation position of the air outlet device 100 and the host module 200 more flexible.
[0136] Furthermore, the second air outlet 2072 is connected to the outdoor air outlet 701 via a second flexible duct 400. Optionally, the second flexible duct 400 is a flexible bellows. The length of the second flexible duct 400 can be extended and can be bent to adapt to installation requirements in different locations. The diameter of the second flexible duct 400 can be 80 mm to 150 mm. For example, the diameter of the second flexible duct 400 can be 100 mm. As a result, the difficulty of connecting the host module 200 and the outdoor air outlet 701 can be reduced, and the setting position of the host module 200 and the outdoor air outlet 701 can be wide and less restricted, making the setting position of the host module 200 and the outdoor air outlet 701 more flexible.
[0137] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first air inlet 2061 is disposed opposite to the first air outlet 2062, and / or the second air inlet 2071 is disposed opposite to the second air outlet 2072. Specifically, only the first air inlet 2061 and the first air outlet 2062 may be disposed opposite to each other, or only the second air inlet 2071 and the second air outlet 2072 may be disposed opposite to each other, or the first air inlet 2061 and the first air outlet 2062 may be disposed opposite to each other, and the second air inlet 2071 and the second air outlet 2072 may be disposed opposite to each other.
[0138] Specifically, when the first air inlet 2061 and the first air outlet 2062 are positioned opposite each other, the airflow entering the first air duct 206 through the first air inlet 2061 can flow toward the first air outlet 2062 without changing its direction, effectively reducing wind resistance and air volume loss. When the second air inlet 2071 and the second air outlet 2072 are positioned opposite each other, the airflow entering the second air duct 207 through the second air inlet 2071 can flow toward the second air outlet 2072 without changing its direction, effectively reducing wind resistance and air volume loss.
[0139] For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 15-16 and Figures 19-22The casing 20 can be formed into a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the casing 20 includes a first side wall 20122 and a second side wall 20222 arranged opposite to each other, the first air inlet 2061 and the second air outlet 2072 are both formed on the first side wall 20122, the first air outlet 2062 and the second air inlet 2071 are both formed on the second side wall 20222, and the first air inlet 2061 and the second air outlet 2072 are spaced apart in the length direction of the first side wall 20122, and the first air outlet 2062 and the second air inlet 2071 are spaced apart in the length direction of the second side wall 20222.
[0140] Thus, by arranging the first air inlet 2061 and the second air outlet 2072 in the longitudinal direction of the first side wall 20122 and the first air outlet 2062 and the second air inlet 2071 in the longitudinal direction of the second side wall 20222, the housing 20 can be set to a long strip shape, which is conducive to reducing the width of the host module 200. For example, the width of the host module 200 can be set to less than 300 mm. In this way, when the ceiling surface 600 is a standard aluminum gusset plate, the aluminum gusset plate on the ceiling surface 600 can be removed so that the host module 200 can be installed on the ceiling through the gap between the keels. When the ceiling surface 600 is a non-standard aluminum gusset plate, the gypsum board can be cut and then installed. In other words, even if the ceiling decoration is completed, the air conditioning device 1000 can still be installed.
[0141] In some embodiments, as Figure 22 As shown, the interior of the housing 20 is divided into three independent first chambers 203, second chambers 204, and third chambers 205. The first chamber 203, second chamber 204, and third chamber 205 can be arranged in the length direction of the housing 20. In some embodiments of the present invention, the housing 20 is provided with a first partition and a second partition spaced apart in the length direction of the housing 20. The first partition and the second partition divide the housing 20 into the independent first chamber 203, second chamber 204, and third chamber 205.
[0142] The first chamber 203 and the third chamber 205 are located on either side of the second chamber 204. Specifically, the first fan 30 and the second heat exchanger 60 can be disposed in the first chamber 203, the second fan 50 and the second heat exchanger 60 can be disposed in the third chamber 205, and the compressor 70 can be disposed in the second chamber 204. In this way, the first chamber 203 and the third chamber 205 can both function as air ducts.
[0143] 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 the first chamber 203 and the third chamber 205 can also act as air ducts, so that the air ducts are formed integrally by the casing 20, and there is no need to set up additional air duct components, making the main module 200 of the air-conditioning equipment 1000 more streamlined and compact, and saving production costs and installation processes.
[0144] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a water tray 80 is provided at the bottom of the housing 20. The first heat exchanger 40 and the second heat exchanger 60 are both mounted on the water tray 80. A water pump module 90 is also provided on the water tray 80 for spraying water from the water tray 80 onto the second heat exchanger 60. Optionally, the water pump module 90 is a water wheel or a water pump. The water tray 80 can be used to collect condensed water from the first heat exchanger 40 and the second heat exchanger 60.
[0145] During use, the water pump module 90 can be turned on in the refrigeration cycle mode to spray the condensed water onto the high-temperature second heat exchanger 60. At this time, the heat on the second heat exchanger 60 can be used to evaporate the condensed water, and the evaporated water vapor can be discharged to the outside through the second fan 50 to achieve the purpose of dehumidification.
[0146] Furthermore, the air conditioning equipment 1000 also includes an electric heating device 500. The electric heating device 500 can be installed in the first air duct 206 or on the air outlet device 100. During the dehumidification process, the electric heating device 500 can be turned on to heat the airflow blowing into the room, achieving constant-temperature dehumidification. Furthermore, since heating based solely on refrigerant requires a period of time before the indoor temperature reaches the preset value, the addition of the electric heating device 500 can provide preheating, auxiliary heating, and rapid temperature increase during heating.
[0147] In some embodiments, the air conditioning device 1000 further includes a sterilization module. The sterilization module can be an ion sterilization module, an ultraviolet lamp sterilization module, or the like. The sterilization module can be located within the first air duct 206 or within the air outlet 100. This allows indoor air laden with bacteria to be sterilized by the sterilization module before being returned to the room, achieving air purification.
[0148] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 15-Figure 22 As shown, the air outlet 100 and the outdoor air outlet 701 are respectively located on both sides of the main unit module 200. As a result, when the indoor air supply outlet 601 is located in the middle of the room, the main unit module 200 is located between the outdoor air outlet 701 and the indoor air supply outlet 601, which is beneficial for shortening the pipe length, saving costs, and reducing air volume loss.
[0149] According to some embodiments of the present invention, an illuminating lamp is provided on the air conditioning device 1000. The illuminating lamp can be provided on the air outlet device 100 or the host module 200. Thus, lighting of a room (eg, a bathroom) can be achieved.
[0150] In some embodiments of the present invention, a filter is provided at the indoor air inlet 602. The filter can be used to filter the air entering the ceiling, thereby filtering the air entering the first air duct 206 and the second air duct 207 to achieve air purification.
