DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] First embodiment

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 An embodiment of the present invention provides a fresh air module 100. The fresh air module 100 provided in this embodiment is applied to the air conditioner 10. The fresh air module 100 provided in this embodiment can increase the outlet area of ​​the fresh air and improve the outlet volume of the fresh air.

[0024] The fresh air module 100 is currently widely used in air conditioners 10 to bring outdoor fresh air into the room. After the outdoor fresh air enters the fresh air module 100, it passes through the fresh air outlet 112 and is discharged into the room. The fresh air panel 120 is set at the fresh air outlet 112. The fresh air panel 120 is provided with multiple air outlets to separate the fresh air into multiple streams, so that when the fresh air blows towards the user, the user perceives it as a breeze, which improves the user experience. However, due to the limitations of the mold, the current fresh air panel 120 has a small opening area on the fresh air panel 120, resulting in a small air output. The fresh air module 100 provided in this embodiment can improve the above problem and can increase the opening area on the fresh air panel 120, thereby increasing the fresh air output.

[0025] In this embodiment, the fresh air module 100 includes a shell 110 and a fresh air panel 120. The shell 110 has a fresh air outlet 112. The fresh air panel 120 includes a connecting plate 122 and an air outlet plate 124 that are connected to each other. The connecting plate 122 is connected to the shell 110. The air outlet plate 124 is arranged at the fresh air outlet 112. The air outlet plate 124 includes an air outlet portion 125 and a connecting portion 126 that are connected to each other. One end of the air outlet portion 125 away from the connecting portion 126 is connected to the connecting plate 122, and one end of the connecting portion 126 away from the air outlet portion 125 is connected to the shell 110. The air outlet portion 125 extends obliquely in a direction close to the connecting portion 126, and the connecting portion 126 extends obliquely in a direction close to the air outlet portion 125. At least a first air outlet hole 127 is provided on the air outlet portion 125, and a second air outlet hole 128 is provided on the connecting portion 126. The shape of the first air outlet hole 127 is different from that of the second air outlet hole 128.

[0026] In this embodiment, the fresh air panel 120 is covered on the shell 110, the connecting plate 122 is connected to the shell 110, the air outlet plate 124 is arranged at the fresh air outlet 112 and covers the fresh air outlet 112, and at least a first air outlet hole 127 is provided on the air outlet portion 125, and a second air outlet hole 128 is provided on the connecting portion 126. The second air outlet hole 128 is provided at one end of the air outlet plate 124 away from the connecting plate 122, thereby increasing the air outlet area on the entire air outlet plate 124, thereby increasing the fresh air outlet volume.

[0027] In this embodiment, the fresh air outlet 112 is disposed below the housing 110. The cross-section of the fresh air outlet 112 is generally arc-shaped. To accommodate the fresh air outlet 112, the air outlet plate 124 is also arc-shaped. Since the arc-shaped air outlet plate 124 cannot be formed using the same mold, a second air outlet hole 128 is provided on the connecting portion 126, and at least a first air outlet hole 127 is provided on the air outlet portion 125. The first air outlet hole 127 and the second air outlet hole 128 have different shapes and can be formed using different molds, thereby increasing the area of ​​the air outlet on the entire air outlet plate 124 and improving the fresh air output.

[0028] In this embodiment, the air outlet plate 124 is arranged in an arc shape. During the process of opening the mold on the inner side of the air outlet plate 124, the curved air outlet plate 124 makes it impossible for the mold to be completely opened on the entire air outlet plate 124, resulting in different shapes of the first air outlet hole 127 and the second air outlet hole 128.

[0029] It is easy to understand that the more first air outlet holes 127 and second air outlet holes 128 are provided on the air outlet portion 125, the greater the amount of fresh air discharged. The more first air outlet holes 127 and second air outlet holes 128 are provided, the finer the fresh air is divided, the stronger the breeze feeling for the user, and the improved user experience.

[0030] In this embodiment, the air outlet portion 125 extends obliquely in a direction approaching the connecting portion 126, and the connecting portion 126 extends obliquely in a direction approaching the air outlet portion 125. That is, the air outlet portion 125 extends obliquely downward, and the connecting portion 126 extends obliquely upward. The air outlet portion 125 and the connecting portion 126 cooperate to surround and cover the fresh air outlet 112, thereby increasing the area of ​​the air outlet plate 124. In addition, the air outlet portion 125 and the connecting portion 126 are respectively provided with a first air outlet hole 127 and a second air outlet hole 128 of different shapes, thereby increasing the air outlet area of ​​the entire air outlet plate 124 and increasing the amount of fresh air discharged.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first air outlet 127 has an air inlet section 1271 and an air outlet section 1273 that are interconnected. The air inlet section 1271 is arranged close to the fresh air outlet 112. In the direction away from the fresh air outlet 112, the diameter of the air inlet section 1271 gradually decreases, and the diameter of the air outlet section 1273 gradually increases.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first air outlet 127 can be considered to be a double trumpet-shaped hole, that is, the first air outlet 127 is a two-way trumpet-shaped hole, and the air inlet section 1271 and the air outlet section 1273 are both trumpet-shaped. The opening of the air inlet section 1271 is arranged toward the fresh air outlet 112, and the opening of the air outlet section 1273 is arranged away from the fresh air outlet 112. The fresh air blown out of the fresh air outlet 112 enters the air inlet section 1271 through the opening of the air inlet section 1271, enters the air outlet section 1273 through the connection between the air inlet section 1271 and the air outlet section 1273, and is blown out through the opening of the air outlet section 1273.

[0033] In this embodiment, the opening of the air inlet section 1271 is positioned toward the fresh air outlet 112, allowing the fresh air blown out of the fresh air outlet 112 to flow into the air inlet section 1271 and out through the air outlet section 1273. The larger the opening area of ​​the air inlet section 1271, the more air flow will flow into the air inlet section 1271, and the greater the fresh air output will be. In other words, the trumpet-shaped air inlet section 1271 primarily serves to gather the fresh air blown out of the fresh air outlet 112, thereby increasing the output air volume.

[0034] After the fresh air enters the air outlet section 1273, since the connection between the air outlet section 1273 and the air inlet section 1271 is the part with the smallest cross-sectional area in the entire first air outlet 127, the diameter of the air outlet section 1273 gradually increases after the fresh air enters the air outlet section 1273, and the pressure of the fresh air gradually decreases, so that the wind pressure of the fresh air blown out from the air outlet section 1273 is relatively small. When the fresh air blows from the air outlet section 1273 to the user, the wind pressure is relatively small, thereby improving the user's comfort.

[0035] In this embodiment, the projections of the air inlet section 1271 and the air outlet section 1273 in the direction of the fresh air outlet 112 are circular.

[0036] It should be noted that, in other embodiments of the present invention, the projections of the air inlet section 1271 and the air outlet section 1273 in the direction of the fresh air outlet 112 may also be other shapes such as a rectangle, a trapezoid, or a triangle.

[0037] In this embodiment, the opening area of ​​the end of the air inlet section 1271 away from the air outlet section 1273 is equal to the opening area of ​​the end of the air outlet section 1273 away from the air inlet section 1271.

[0038] That is to say, the opening area of ​​the air inlet section 1271 is equal to the opening area of ​​the air outlet section 1273, which can ensure that the new air entering the air inlet section 1271 can be quickly discharged from the air outlet section 1273, thereby improving the exhaust speed.

[0039] In this embodiment, the diameter of the second air outlet 128 gradually increases in a direction away from the fresh air outlet 112 .

[0040] That is to say, the second air outlet 128 is in the shape of a one-way trumpet, and its diameter gradually increases in the direction away from the fresh air outlet 112. The second air outlet 128 is arranged on the connecting part 126, and the connecting part 126 is below the entire fresh air panel 120. The connecting part 126 is correspondingly arranged below the fresh air outlet 112. The connecting part 126 may only partially correspond to the air outlet. The amount of fresh air blown out from the connecting part 126 is very small, and the diameter of the second air outlet 128 close to the fresh air outlet 112 can be set smaller.

[0041] After the fresh air enters the second air outlet 128, the wind pressure of the fresh air will gradually decrease. When the fresh air blows onto the user from the air outlet section 1273, the wind pressure is relatively small, thereby improving the user's comfort.

[0042] In this embodiment, because the connection portion 126 is positioned below the air outlet portion 125 and the air outlet plate 124 is curved, the mold cannot accommodate the bidirectional trumpet shape of the second air outlet 128. Therefore, the second air outlet 128 can only be molded into a unidirectional trumpet shape. A larger diameter near the fresh air outlet 112 can increase the amount of air collected. A larger diameter farther from the fresh air outlet 112 can reduce wind pressure, create a breeze, and improve the user experience. When it is difficult to balance the amount of air collected and the user experience, the user experience is prioritized. Therefore, the diameter of the second air outlet 128 gradually increases as it moves away from the fresh air outlet 112.

[0043] Likewise, in the direction of the fresh air outlet 112 , the projection of the second air outlet 128 is circular.

[0044] It should be noted that, in other embodiments of the present invention, the projection of the second air outlet 128 in the direction of the fresh air outlet 112 may also be a rectangle, a trapezoid, a triangle or other shapes.

[0045] In this embodiment, the air outlet portion 125 is arc-shaped, and the arc of the air outlet portion 125 is greater than or equal to 45 degrees and less than or equal to 70 degrees.

[0046] Among them, the shape of the entire air outlet plate 124 needs to be adapted to the shape of the fresh air outlet 112. Most of the fresh air is concentrated in the area of ​​45 degrees to 70 degrees. Setting the first air outlet in this area can increase the air volume while improving the user experience.

[0047] Preferably, the arc of the air outlet portion 125 is 55 degrees.

[0048] In this embodiment, the air outlet portion 125 includes a first section 1251 and a second section 1253 connected to each other. The first section 1251 is connected to the connecting portion 126, and the second section 1253 is connected to the connecting plate 122. The second section 1253 is provided with a second air outlet 128, and the first section 1251 is provided with a first air outlet 127.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first section 1251 is arranged near the middle of the entire air outlet plate 124, and most of the fresh air blown out from the fresh air outlet 112 is concentrated in the first section 1251. The first air outlet 127 is arranged on the first section 1251, which can form a breeze while increasing the amount of collected air, thereby improving the user experience.

[0050] Since the second section 1253 is arranged close to the connecting plate 122, the amount of fresh air blown out from the second section 1253 is relatively small. The second section 1253 is arranged at the upper part of the entire air outlet plate 124. During the process of mold ejection, the second section 1253 arranged at the top and the connecting part 126 arranged at the bottom are not easy to eject from the mold. Therefore, a second air outlet 128 is also provided on the second section 1253 to ensure the user experience.

[0051] In this embodiment, the arc angle of the first segment 1251 is greater than or equal to 35 degrees and less than or equal to 50 degrees.

[0052] Among them, the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet is roughly concentrated in the area of ​​35 degrees to 50 degrees. Setting the first air outlet on the first section 1251 can improve the user experience while increasing the air volume.

[0053] Preferably, the arc of the first segment 1251 is 38 degrees.

[0054] In this embodiment, the arc angle of the second segment 1253 is greater than or equal to 10 degrees and less than or equal to 20 degrees.

[0055] The second section 1253 is arranged close to the connecting plate 122. The second section 1253 is arranged above the entire air outlet plate 124. The curvature of the second section 1253 should not be too large. If the curvature of the second section 1253 is too large, the air outlet volume of the entire air outlet plate 124 will be lower. Preferably, the curvature of the second section 1253 is 17 degrees.

[0056] In this embodiment, the connecting portion 126 is in an arc shape, and the arc of the connecting portion 126 is greater than or equal to 10 degrees and less than or equal to 25 degrees.

[0057] Similarly, the connecting portion 126 is arranged below the entire fresh air panel 120. The curvature of the connecting portion 126 is not easy to be too large. If the curvature of the second section 1253 is too large, the air output of the entire air outlet plate 124 will be lower. Preferably, the curvature of the second section 1253 is 10 degrees.

[0058] The working principle of the fresh air module 100 provided in this embodiment: In this embodiment, after the outdoor fresh air enters the fresh air module 100, it is filtered by the fresh air module 100 and then discharged from the fresh air outlet 112. The fresh air blown out from the fresh air outlet 112 is blown into the room from the first air outlet 127 or the second air outlet 128.

[0059] To sum up, the fresh air module 100 provided in this embodiment, in this embodiment, the fresh air panel 120 is covered on the shell 110, the connecting plate 122 is connected to the shell 110, the air outlet plate 124 is arranged at the fresh air outlet 112 and covers the fresh air outlet 112, and at least a first air outlet hole 127 is provided on the air outlet portion 125, and a second air outlet hole 128 is provided on the connecting portion 126, so that the second air outlet hole 128 is provided at one end of the air outlet plate 124 away from the connecting plate 122, thereby increasing the air outlet area on the entire air outlet plate 124, thereby increasing the fresh air outlet volume.

[0060] Second embodiment

[0061] This embodiment provides an air conditioner 10. The air conditioner 10 provided in this embodiment can increase the outlet area of ​​fresh air and improve the outlet volume of fresh air.

[0063] In this embodiment, the air conditioner 10 includes a main body 200 and the fresh air module 100 provided in the first embodiment, and the fresh air module 100 is connected to the main body 200 .

[0064] Although the present invention is disclosed as above, the present invention is not limited thereto.
