Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning equipment technology, and in particular to an air outlet plate and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional air conditioners typically use a deflector plate at the air outlet, which has micro-perforations to reduce airflow and achieve a draft-free experience, preventing strong airflow from blowing directly on the user. However, when the airflow is high, the airflow velocity directly from the micro-perforations is still relatively high due to the limitations of the deflector plate itself, making it difficult to achieve a gentle breeze effect and resulting in poor draft-free comfort.

[0011] Optionally, the air outlet holes on the air outlet wall can be any one of the following: strip holes, round holes, elliptical holes, and square holes.

[0012] Optionally, the air outlet holes on the air outlet wall are strip-shaped holes, and the strip-shaped holes extend in a tortuous manner.

[0013] Optionally, the multiple strip-shaped holes on the air outlet wall are inclined to the same side.

[0014] Optionally, the air outlet plate is an air guide plate installed at the air outlet of the air outlet device; or, the air outlet plate is any one of the bottom plate, front panel, and side panel of the housing of the air outlet device.

[0015] The present invention also provides an air conditioner, the air conditioner including a housing and an air outlet plate; the housing is provided with an air outlet; the air outlet plate is installed on the housing and is adapted to block the air outlet.

[0016] Optionally, the air conditioner is provided with the air outlet panel on the front side of the air outlet to cover the front side of the air outlet; and / or, the air conditioner is provided with the air outlet panel on the lower side of the air outlet to cover the lower side of the air outlet.

In this process, the airflow speed is gradually reduced by being blocked by the air inlet wall, the ramming post and the air outlet wall, effectively reducing the airflow speed and achieving a soft, windless airflow, thereby improving the comfort of a windless environment.

[0041] Figures 1 to 11 The accompanying drawings show the air outlet panel 100 and the air conditioner 200 provided by this invention. The air outlet panel 100 can be installed on an air outlet device to guide airflow. The air outlet panel can effectively reduce wind speed and improve the comfort of a draft-free environment. As for the type of air outlet device, it can be an air conditioner, an air compressor, an air purifier, or other air outlet devices; among them, the air conditioner can be any one of a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, a floor-standing air conditioner indoor unit, a portable air conditioner, or a ceiling-mounted air conditioner. The following description mainly uses a floor-standing air conditioner as an example.

[0042] Please see Figures 1 to 3In one embodiment of the air outlet plate 100, the air outlet plate 100 includes a plate body 110 and a plurality of impact posts 120; wherein, the plate body 110 has an inner cavity and an air inlet wall 111 and an air outlet wall 112 respectively disposed on opposite sides of the inner cavity, the air inlet wall 111 is provided with a plurality of air inlet holes 101, and the air outlet wall 112 is provided with a plurality of air outlet holes 102; the plurality of impact posts 120 are arranged on the inner surface of the air outlet wall 112, and the impact posts 120 protrude from the inner surface of the air outlet wall 112 toward the air inlet holes 101 (e.g., Figure 4 and Figure 5 (As shown).

[0043] Specifically, the plate 110 can be an air guide plate installed at the air outlet of the air outlet device, or it can be any one of the bottom plate, front panel, or side panel of the air outlet device's casing. The plate 110 can be elongated, circular, square, or other irregular shapes. In this case, the plate 110 is elongated.

[0044] For the plate 110, the plate 110 is hollow, thus forming an inner cavity inside the plate 110. The air inlet hole 101 on the air inlet wall 111 and the air outlet hole 102 on the air outlet wall 112 are both connected to the inner cavity. When the air outlet plate 100 is working, the airflow enters from the multiple air inlet holes 101 on the air inlet wall 111 of the air outlet plate 100, and the airflow speed is reduced for the first time. Then, the airflow enters the inner cavity of the air outlet plate 100 from the air inlet hole 101. During this process, the airflow collides head-on with the impact post 120 on the air outlet wall 112, and the airflow speed is reduced again. The airflow is also disturbed into turbulence due to the collision with the impact post 120. Finally, the turbulence formed by the impact of the impact post 120 disperses around the impact post 120 and is then blown outward from the multiple air outlet holes 102, and the airflow speed is reduced once again.

[0045] The technical solution of the present invention provides a striking post 120 on the inner surface of the air outlet wall 112 of the air outlet plate 100. The striking post 120 protrudes from the inner surface of the air outlet wall 112 toward the air inlet hole 101, so that the airflow entering from the air inlet wall 111 of the air outlet plate 100 can collide with the striking post 120 to form turbulence, and finally blow out from the multiple air outlet holes 102 on the air outlet wall 112. In this process, the airflow speed is gradually reduced by being blocked by the air inlet wall 111, the striking post 120 and the air outlet wall 112 (see the foregoing description for details), effectively reducing the airflow speed, realizing a gentle breeze without wind, and thus improving the comfort of a windless airflow.

[0046] Please see Figures 1 to 3In one embodiment, a plurality of air outlet holes 102 on the air outlet wall 112 of the air outlet plate 100 and a plurality of air inlet holes 101 on the air inlet wall 111 are staggered in the air outlet direction. That is, in the air outlet direction of the air outlet plate 100, each air inlet hole 101 of the air inlet wall 111 is opposite to the wall surface between two adjacent air outlet holes 102 on the air outlet wall 112.

[0047] Therefore, when the airflow enters from the air inlet 101, it first collides with the impact column 120 and is then dispersed to the surface of the air outlet wall 112 before flowing from the air outlet wall 112 to the surrounding air outlets 102. This avoids the airflow entering from the air inlet from directly rushing to the air outlet 102 and being blown out, effectively reducing the wind speed and diffusing the airflow to achieve a gentle breeze.

[0048] Furthermore, to enhance the flow obstruction effect of the impact column 120, the impact column 120 can be protruding on the inner surface of the air outlet wall 112 between two adjacent air outlet holes 102, so that the impact column 120 faces the air outlet hole 102, and after the impact column 120 collides with the airflow, it directs the airflow it knocks apart into the air outlet hole 102 located around it.

[0049] There are various design possibilities for the specific shape and structure of the impact column 120. For example, but not limited to, the impact column 120 can be any one of the following: square column, cylinder, elliptical column, prismatic column, triangular column, semi-cylindrical column, cone, or frustum.

[0050] The orientation of the side of the impact column 120 is unrestricted. However, to minimize airflow resistance and wind loss, for elliptical cylinders, semi-cylinders, cones, frustums, and cylinders with teardrop-shaped cross-sections, only the curved sidewall needs to face the airflow direction. This means the airflow directly impacts the curved sidewall of the impact column 120, thus reducing wind loss. Furthermore, for square, rhomboid, and triangular cylinders, when installing the impact column 120, its corners can be aligned with the airflow direction. This way, the corners will guide the airflow towards the impact column 120, further reducing wind resistance.

[0051] Furthermore, to reduce wind loss caused by the collision between the impactor 120 and the airflow, a pointed end of the impactor 120 near the inlet wall 111 can be constructed. For example, the radial width of the impactor 120 can be gradually reduced from the outlet wall 112 towards the inlet wall 111, thereby constructing a pointed end of the impactor 120 near the inlet wall 111. By colliding with the airflow through its pointed end, the impactor 120 can both disperse the airflow and reduce the collision area with the airflow, thereby reducing losses.

[0052] Please also see Figures 1 to 3Based on any of the above embodiments, the air inlet 101 of the air outlet plate 100 can be any one of a strip-shaped hole, a round hole, an elliptical hole, or a square hole. Specifically, the air inlet 101 is a round hole. Furthermore, the multiple air inlets 101 of the air inlet wall 111 are arranged in multiple rows, and in two adjacent rows of air inlets 101, one row of air inlets 101 is staggered with the other adjacent row of air inlets 101.

[0053] Specifically, the multiple air inlets 101 of the air inlet wall 111 are arranged in multiple rows, with each row of air inlets 101 forming an air inlet group. That is, in two adjacent air inlet groups, the multiple air inlets 101 in one air inlet group are staggered with the multiple air inlets 101 in the other adjacent air inlet group. When the airflow blown from the air duct of the air outlet device toward the air inlet 101, it enters the inner cavity of the plate 110 from different air inlet groups in a staggered manner. Then, the staggered airflow collides and is pushed apart by the corresponding impact pillars 120, making the airflow more chaotic and disordered. Finally, it is blown out from the air outlet 102 of the air outlet wall 112, forming strong turbulence, which effectively reduces the wind speed and diffuses the airflow, improving the comfort of the gentle breeze.

[0054] Furthermore, to facilitate guiding airflow from the air inlet 101 into the inner cavity of the air outlet 100, guide columns 130 may be constructed around the periphery of the air inlet 101; each guide column 120 corresponds to one guide column 130 (e.g., Figure 3 and Figure 8 (As shown).

[0055] Specifically, each air inlet 101 is provided with a corresponding air guide column 130; the air guide column 130 is a hollow column, and the diameter of the air guide column 130 gradually decreases from the air inlet wall 111 toward the air outlet wall 112. The tip of each impact column 120 extends to the inner end opening of an air guide column 130, so that the airflow introduced by the air guide column 130 directly impacts the tip of the impact column 120, thereby enhancing the impact effect.

[0056] For the air outlet of the air outlet plate 100, the air inlet 101 can be any one of a strip-shaped hole, a round hole, an elliptical hole, or a square hole. Specifically, the air outlet 102 on the air outlet wall 112 is a strip-shaped hole, which extends in a tortuous shape so that the laminar airflow is converted into turbulent flow after being blown out of the strip-shaped hole, thereby forming a gentle breeze or turbulent wind. Furthermore, multiple strip-shaped holes on the air outlet wall 112 can be inclined to the same side, so that the airflow can be staggered in the longitudinal direction, resulting in a better turbulent airflow effect. Of course, in other embodiments, the strip-shaped hole can also be straight and extend laterally, longitudinally, or inclined.

[0057] Please see Figures 6 to 8The present invention also provides an air conditioner 200, which includes a housing 210 and an air outlet plate 100; wherein the housing 210 is provided with an air outlet; the air outlet plate 100 is installed on the housing 210 and is adapted to block the air outlet. The specific structure of the air outlet plate 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since the air conditioner 200 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here. It should be noted that the air conditioner 200 can be any one of a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, a floor-standing air conditioner indoor unit, a portable air conditioner 200, or a ceiling-mounted air conditioner 200. To avoid redundancy, the following embodiments mainly use a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit as an example for explanation and description.

[0058] Please see Figures 8 to 10 In one embodiment, the housing 210 of the air conditioner 200 is provided with an air inlet 211 and an air outlet, and an air duct 212 is formed inside the housing 210, connecting the air inlet 211 and the air outlet. The air conditioner 200 also includes a heat exchanger 220 and a fan wheel 230, both of which are installed inside the housing 210. The housing 210 includes a chassis, a front panel disposed on the front side of the chassis, and side panels disposed on both sides of the chassis. The chassis has a bottom plate. The front panel, side panels, and bottom plate of the chassis can all accommodate air outlet panels 100.

[0059] Please see Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 In one embodiment, the number of air outlet panels 100 may be one, two, or more. For example, the air conditioner 200 may have the air outlet panel 100 disposed on the front side of the air outlet to cover the front side of the air outlet; and / or, the air conditioner 200 may have the air outlet panel 100 disposed on the lower side of the air outlet to cover the lower side of the air outlet.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, an air outlet plate 100 is disposed on the front side of the air outlet of the air conditioner 200, and the air outlet plate 100 disposed on the front side of the air outlet is a first air outlet plate 100a. An air outlet plate 100 is disposed on the lower side of the air outlet of the air conditioner 200, and the air outlet plate 100 disposed on the lower side of the air outlet is a second air outlet plate 100b.

[0061] Please see Figure 8 and Figure 10There are several possible design options for the installation of the first air outlet plate 100a. Optionally, the first air outlet plate 100a is movably installed within the housing 210 in a vertical direction, allowing it to switch between a working position and an idle position. In the working position, the first air outlet plate 100a is located in front of the air outlet; in the idle position, the first air outlet plate 100a is hidden inside the housing 210.

[0062] Specifically, a guide rail 150 is constructed on the side of the first air outlet plate 100a, and the first air outlet plate 100a is movably installed in the housing 210 along the vertical direction via the guide rail 150. When normal airflow is required, the first air outlet plate 100a is moved to an idle position, so that the air outlet is exposed and can normally blow air forward. When no wind or other wind-feeling modes are required, the first air outlet plate 100a is moved to the working position to block the front of the air outlet, so that the airflow blowing forward is transformed into turbulence by the first air outlet plate 100a and forms a gentler wind.

[0063] Of course, the installation method of the first air outlet plate 100a is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the first air outlet plate 100a can also be rotatably installed on the upper part of the air outlet so as to switch between the working position and the idle position by rotation.

[0064] Furthermore, the air conditioner 200 also includes a drive assembly 240, which includes a rack 241, a motor, and a gear; wherein the rack 241 is mounted on the first air outlet plate 100a; the motor is mounted inside the housing 210; the gear is connected to the motor and meshes with the rack 241.

[0065] In other embodiments, the drive assembly 240 may include a motor, a reel, and a traction rope; wherein the reel is rotatably mounted inside the housing 210, the traction rope is wound on the reel, and the other end of the traction rope is connected to the first air outlet plate 100a; the motor is connected to the reel to drive the reel to wind up the traction rope and drive the first air outlet plate 100a to move up and down.

[0066] Please see Figure 8 and Figure 10 There are various design options for the installation of the second air outlet panel 100b. Optionally, the second air outlet panel 100b can be rotatably mounted on the chassis so that the angle at which the second air outlet panel 100b blocks the air outlet can be adjusted by rotation.

[0067] Specifically, when a windless or other wind-sensing mode is required, the second air outlet panel 100b is moved to the lower side of the air outlet to block the lower side of the air outlet. This causes the downward-blowing airflow to become turbulent after passing through the second air outlet panel 100b, resulting in a gentler breeze. The two-sided turbulent airflow created by the first air outlet panel 100a and the second air outlet panel 100b effectively increases the turbulent airflow range. When the indoor unit of the air conditioner is turned off, the second air outlet panel 100b is moved to completely block the air outlet, thus closing the air outlet.

[0068] Of course, the installation method of the second air outlet panel 100b is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the second air outlet panel 100b can also be movably installed at the bottom of the housing 210 along the front and back, so that when a windless mode or other wind-feeling mode is required, the second air outlet panel 100b can be moved to the lower side of the air outlet, and when normal airflow is required, the second air outlet panel 100b can be moved back into the housing 210 to hide the second air outlet panel 100b.

[0069] Furthermore, the second air outlet panel 100b also includes a windproof sidewall 140, which is constructed at the end of the panel 110 of the second air outlet panel 100b and has multiple air outlet holes. Specifically, windproof sidewalls 140 are provided at both ends of the panel 110 of the second air outlet panel 100b. Part of the airflow blowing from the air duct 212 of the air conditioner 200 can be blown forward through the first air outlet panel 100a, another part can be blown downward through the panel 110 of the second air outlet panel 100b, and the remainder can be blown laterally from the air outlet holes of the two windproof sidewalls 140 of the second air outlet panel 100b, thereby achieving air supply from at least four sides and greatly expanding the air outlet area.

[0070] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
