TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the air conditioning technical field, and in particular, relates to a cabinet air conditioner and a cabinet air conditioner. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, the cabinet air conditioner on the market has left and right sweeping blades installed vertically in the air outlet frame to play a role in left and right sweeping.

[0003] When the cabinet air conditioner is cooling, cold and hot air converges to form condensate water on the surface of the sweeping blade, which slides down along the surface of the sweeping blade. The bottom of the sweeping blade is provided with a water receiving mechanism. However, since the lower end of the sweeping blade is provided with a shaft sleeve, part of the condensate water that slides down will enter the shaft sleeve, the water receiving effect is not ideal, and the smooth rotation of the sweeping blade is affected. The condensate water accumulated for a long time will also breed bacteria. SUMMARY

[0004] The problem solved by the present application is that the condensate water generated on the sweeping blade of the existing cabinet air conditioner will flow into the bottom shaft sleeve.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present application provides a cabinet air conditioner air outlet structure which can avoid the condensate water on the sweeping blade from flowing into the bottom shaft sleeve, improve the water receiving effect, ensure the smooth rotation of the sweeping blade, and prevent bacteria from breeding in the bottom shaft sleeve.

[0006] The embodiment of the present application provides a cabinet air conditioner air outlet structure, which comprises an air outlet frame and a sweeping blade. The air outlet frame is provided with a horizontal rib. The sweeping blade is vertically arranged in the air outlet frame. The surface of the sweeping blade is provided with a water guide rib. The water guide rib is used to guide the condensate water on the sweeping blade to the horizontal rib.

[0007] The cabinet air conditioner air outlet structure provided by the embodiment of the present application can avoid the condensate water on the sweeping blade from flowing into the bottom shaft sleeve, improve the water receiving effect, and ensure the smooth rotation of the sweeping blade.

[0008] In an optional embodiment, the water guide rib is protruded on the surface of the sweeping blade, and the plane where the water guide rib is located forms an angle with the horizontal plane.

[0009] The water guide rib is protruded circumferentially to ensure that all the condensate water sliding down the surface of the sweeping blade can be received. In addition, the plane where the water guide rib is located forms an angle with the horizontal plane, so that the received condensate water is inclined to flow to the horizontal rib of the air outlet frame.

[0010] In an optional embodiment, opposite sides of the air-sweeping blade are provided with a first side and a second side, the height of the water guide rib gradually decreases in the vertical direction from the second side to the first side, and the first side is provided with a mounting member that rotates with the horizontal rib.

[0011] The lowest end of the water guide rib in the vertical direction is still above the horizontal rib, which ensures that the condensed water received by the water guide rib can flow smoothly into the horizontal rib.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, the first side is concavely provided with a mounting gap, and the mounting member is embedded in the mounting gap.

[0013] The mounting member is embedded in the mounting gap, and the horizontal rib extends into the mounting gap and rotates with the mounting member, further ensuring that the water guide rib can smoothly guide the condensed water into the horizontal rib.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, the air-sweeping blade is concavely provided with a first gap and a second gap, one end of the first gap is connected to the first side, and one end of the second gap is connected to the second side, and the first gap and the second gap are used to accommodate the water guide ribs provided on the two adjacent air-sweeping blades, respectively.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, the first gap is above the end of the water guide rib corresponding to the first side in the vertical direction, and the second gap is above the end of the water guide rib corresponding to the second side in the vertical direction.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, the extension direction of the first gap and the extension direction of the second gap are both parallel to the plane in which the water guide rib is located.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, opposite sides of the air-sweeping blade are provided with opposite first and second side walls, the first gap is concavely provided in the first side wall and used to accommodate the water guide rib protruding from the adjacent air-sweeping blade corresponding to the first side wall, and the second gap is concavely provided in the second side wall and used to accommodate the water guide rib protruding from the adjacent air-sweeping blade corresponding to the second side wall.

[0018] Since the water guide rib is protruding from the surface of the air-sweeping blade in a ring shape, corresponding to the first side and the second side of the air-sweeping blade, the air-sweeping blade is protruding. During normal operation of the air-sweeping blade, when the air outlet is closed, the air-sweeping blade will rotate to the left to the limit position, and the part of the water guide rib provided on the air-sweeping blade that protrudes from the first side and the second side is embedded in the second gap and the first gap concavely provided on the adjacent air-sweeping blade, ensuring that the air-sweeping blade can be rotated to the position.

[0019] In an optional embodiment, a flow guide groove is arranged on the horizontal rib, and the flow guide groove is used to drain the condensed water collected on the horizontal rib.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the above objectives, features and advantages of the application more obvious and understandable, the specific embodiments of the application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0028] FIG. 1 shows a structural schematic diagram of the cabinet air outlet structure 100 according to an embodiment of the application. Figure 1 Figure 1

[0029] ​​​​​The cabinet air outlet structure 100 provided in this embodiment is applied to a cabinet air conditioner and includes an air outlet frame 110 and sweeping blades 130. The air outlet frame 110 is used to install on the air outlet of the cabinet air conditioner. Multiple sweeping blades 130 are rotatably mounted inside the air outlet frame 110 through bushings connected to their bottoms, serving to sweep air left and right. The cabinet air outlet structure 100 provided in this embodiment can prevent condensate on the sweeping blades 130 from flowing into the bottom bushing, improving the water collection effect and ensuring smooth rotation of the sweeping blades 130.

[0030] A horizontal rib 111 is provided on the air outlet frame 110 to support the sweeping blades 130. In this embodiment, the air outlet frame 110 is a frame structure, and the horizontal rib 111 is horizontally arranged inside the air outlet frame 110. Multiple sweeping blades 130, which are erected inside the air outlet frame 110, extend in the vertical direction, and the multiple sweeping blades 130 are rotatably engaged with the horizontal rib 111.

[0031] In practical applications, when the cabinet air conditioner is cooling, the cold air blown out of its air outlet and the hot indoor air meet on the surface of the sweeping blade 130, causing condensation to form on the surface of the sweeping blade 130. As the condensation on the sweeping blade 130 increases, it gradually gathers into condensate water, which flows downward along the sweeping blade 130 under the action of gravity.

[0032] Considering that some of the condensate collected on the sweeping blade 130 will flow downwards into the bottom bushing, causing condensate leakage and bacterial growth in the bottom bushing, which in turn makes it difficult for the sweeping blade 130 to rotate, in this embodiment, the sweeping blade 130 is provided with a water-guiding rib 131 to block the downward flow of condensate. The water-guiding rib 131 is circumferentially protruding from the surface of the sweeping blade 130 and is inclined. That is, the plane where the water-guiding rib 131 is located forms an angle with the horizontal plane. By setting the inclined direction of the water-guiding rib 131, the condensate on the sweeping blade 130 is guided to the horizontal rib 111 for collection, and then the collected condensate is led out to the water receiving device through the horizontal rib 111.

[0033] The circumferentially protruding water guide ribs 131 on the sweeping blades 130 prevent the condensate on the sweeping blades 130 from flowing downwards and guide the condensate to the transverse ribs 111, thereby preventing the condensate from flowing to the bushing, preventing condensate leakage, protecting the bottom bearing structure, extending the service life of the components, and ensuring that the sweeping blades 130 can rotate smoothly.

[0034] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 The diagram shows the structural connection between the sweeping blade 130 and the horizontal rib 111.

[0035] In the embodiment, the sweeping blade 130 is in a long strip plate structure, and the first side edge 132 and the second side edge 133 are arranged on the sweeping blade 130 respectively. The first side edge 132 and the second side edge 133 are both long edges of the sweeping blade 130 and extend in the vertical direction. The one end of the water guide rib 131 corresponding to the second side edge 133 is higher than the one end of the water guide rib 131 corresponding to the first side edge 132 in the vertical direction, that is, the height of the water guide rib 131 gradually decreases from the second side edge 133 to the first side edge 132 in the vertical direction.

[0036] Therefore, in actual application, the condensed water flowing downward on the sweeping blade 130 flows from the one end of the water guide rib 131 corresponding to the second side edge 133 to the one end of the water guide rib 131 corresponding to the first side edge 132 under the blocking and guiding effects of the water guide rib 131.

[0037] In order to ensure that the water guide rib 131 can smoothly guide the received condensed water into the horizontal rib 111, in the embodiment, the first side edge 132 is provided with a mounting piece 134 rotatingly matched with the horizontal rib 111, and the one end of the water guide rib 131 corresponding to the first side edge 132 is higher than the mounting piece 134 in the vertical direction.

[0038] In order to further prevent the condensed water from leaking in the process of flowing from the water guide rib 131 to the horizontal rib 111, in the embodiment, the first side edge 132 is concavely provided with a mounting gap 135, the mounting piece 134 is embedded in the mounting gap 135, and the horizontal rib 111 partially extends into the mounting gap 135 and rotatingly matches with the mounting piece 134.

[0039] That is, the water guide rib 131 partially overlaps with the horizontal rib 111 in the vertical direction, and the projection range of the low end of the water guide rib 131 overlaps with the projection range of the horizontal rib 111 in the vertical projection in the same horizontal plane. In actual application, it can be ensured that the condensed water on the water guide rib 131 can smoothly fall on the horizontal rib 111 under the action of gravity after flowing along the water guide rib 131 and separating from the water guide rib 131, thereby avoiding leakage.

[0040] In fact, the mounting piece 134 is a cylindrical shaft embedded in the mounting gap 135 and extending in the vertical direction, and the horizontal rib 111 is provided with a buckle sleeved on the circumferential wall of the mounting piece 134.

[0041] In actual application, the sweeping blade 130 rotates in the horizontal plane under the driving of the sweeping motor, the mounting piece 134 rotates in the cylindrical through hole surrounded by the buckle, and the horizontal rib 111 is supported by the rotating matching of the buckle and the mounting piece 134, so as to improve the structural strength and ensure smooth rotation of the sweeping blade 130.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 Fig. 1 shows a structure schematic view of the sweeping blade 130 in the first visual angle.Figure 4 Fig. 3 is a structural schematic view of the sweeping blade 130 from a second perspective.

[0043] The first side wall 136 is provided opposite to the second side wall 137 on the sweeping blade 130. The first side wall 136 is concavely provided with a first accommodation gap 1361, and the opening end of the first accommodation gap 1361 is connected to the first side edge 132. The second side wall 137 is concavely provided with a second accommodation gap 1371, and the opening end of the second accommodation gap 1371 is connected to the second side edge 133.

[0044] The first accommodation gap 1361 is above the end of the water guide rib 131 corresponding to the first side edge 132 in the vertical direction. The second accommodation gap 1371 is above the end of the water guide rib 131 corresponding to the second side edge 133 in the vertical direction. The first accommodation gap 1361 is used to accommodate the water guide rib 131 provided on the adjacent sweeping blade 130 corresponding to the first side edge 132. The second accommodation gap 1371 is used to accommodate the water guide rib 131 provided on the adjacent sweeping blade 130 corresponding to the second side edge 133.

[0045] The plurality of sweeping blades 130 are synchronously rotated left and right under the driving of the sweeping motor. When the air outlet is stopped, the plurality of sweeping blades 130 need to be rotated to the limit position. Since the water guide rib 131 is protruded on the surface of the sweeping blade 130, if the first accommodation gap 1361 and the second accommodation gap 1371 are not opened on the sweeping blade 130, the water guide rib 131 will be in contact with the adjacent sweeping blade 130, thereby causing the plurality of sweeping blades 130 to be stuck, unable to further rotate in the direction, and the sweeping blade 130 cannot be rotated to the limit position, i.e., the air outlet cannot be closed.

[0046] In the embodiment, when the cabinet air conditioner closes the air outlet, the plurality of sweeping blades 130 are synchronously rotated to the left. Before being rotated to the limit position, the end of the water guide rib 131 on the sweeping blade 130 corresponding to the second side edge 133 is embedded into the first accommodation gap 1361 provided on the adjacent sweeping blade 130 corresponding to the second side wall 137. The end of the water guide rib 131 corresponding to the first side edge 132 is embedded into the second accommodation gap 1371 provided on the adjacent sweeping blade 130 corresponding to the first side wall 136, as shown in Fig. 3. Figure 1

[0047] Therefore, by providing the first accommodation gap 1361 on the first side wall 136 of the sweeping blade 130 and the second accommodation gap 1371 on the second side wall 137, the water guide rib 131 provided on the adjacent sweeping blade 130 is accommodated, the rotating stroke of the sweeping blade 130 is avoided from being interfered by the water guide rib 131 provided on the adjacent sweeping blade 130, and the normal work of the sweeping blade 130 is ensured.

[0048] ​In addition, in order to ensure that the water guide rib 131 can be smoothly embedded in the first and second position gaps 1361 and 1371 provided on the adjacent air sweeping blade 130, the extension direction of the first position gap 1361 and the extension direction of the second position gap 1371 are parallel to the plane where the water guide rib 131 is located, and the width dimension of the first and second position gaps 1361 and 1371 is greater than the thickness dimension of the water guide rib 131.

[0049] In the embodiment, the transverse rib 111 is provided with a water collecting groove (not shown in the figure) and a water guide groove 1111, respectively. The water collecting groove is used to collect and temporarily store the condensed water introduced by the water guide rib 131. The water guide groove 1111 is in communication with the water collecting groove and is used to discharge the condensed water in the water collecting groove. In actual application, one end of the water guide groove 1111 is in communication with the water collecting groove, and the other end of the water guide groove 1111 is in communication with the water pan of the cabinet air conditioner through a pipeline. The condensed water in the water collecting groove finally flows into the water pan through the water guide groove 1111 and the connecting pipeline.

[0050] In summary, the cabinet air outlet structure 100 provided in the embodiment can prevent the condensed water on the air sweeping blade 130 from flowing into the bottom shaft sleeve, improve the water collecting effect, and ensure smooth rotation of the air sweeping blade 130.

[0051] Therefore, the cabinet air outlet structure 100 provided in the embodiment can prevent the condensed water on the air sweeping blade 130 from flowing into the bottom shaft sleeve, improve the water collecting effect, and ensure smooth rotation of the air sweeping blade 130.

[0052] In addition, the embodiment also provides a cabinet air conditioner, which comprises a machine body and the aforementioned cabinet air outlet structure 100. The machine body is provided with an air outlet, and the air outlet frame 110 is embedded in the air outlet. The plurality of air sweeping blades 130 are driven by a sweeping motor provided in the machine body to sweep left and right.

[0053] Since the water guide rib 131 provided on the air sweeping blade 130 of the cabinet air outlet structure 100 can protect the air sweeping blade 130 and prevent the condensed water from leaking, the cabinet air conditioner provided in the embodiment has the characteristics of longer service life, better condensed water collecting effect, and better user experience.

[0054] Although the present application has been disclosed with reference to the above embodiments, the application is not limited to the above embodiments. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes can be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the application. The scope of the application should be limited only by the appended claims.
