Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air handling equipment technology, and more particularly to a flow guiding module and an air handling equipment including the flow guiding module. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, existing air conditioning panels are usually located on the lower side of the air conditioner itself. The panel can rotate to change the air volume by changing the size of the air outlet. However, the existing panel air outlet adjustment can only adjust the different angles of the air outlet to send air forward. The air supply direction is singular, which can easily cause temperature differences in the indoor environment and make it impossible to even out the indoor temperature. There is room for improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome at least one of the defects described in the prior art, the present invention provides a flow guiding module and an air handling device including the flow guiding module, which can realize multi-sided air supply so as to keep the indoor ambient temperature in a uniform state.

[0006] The air guiding module provided by this invention, through the cooperation of the driving component, the first track, and the second track, allows the first and second panels to move relatively away from each other to a first position when the device is off, thus sealing off the air outlet surface. When the device is on, the first and second panels can move relatively close to each other to a second position, forming multiple air outlet gaps between them and the edge of the air outlet surface. At this time, air can be discharged from all four sides of the air outlet surface, thereby achieving multi-sided air supply. This avoids large air volumes blowing out in the same direction, effectively creating a comfortable environment with uniform temperature indoors and preventing excessive temperature differences in the indoor environment. More importantly, the first track is arc-shaped, and the entire stroke of the first panel is achieved within a continuous track, making the overall operation of the air guiding module more stable.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] To better understand and implement this invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 10 This invention discloses a flow guiding module and an air handling device 100 including the flow guiding module. The air handling device 100 also includes a frame 101, one side of which is an air outlet face 102, and the lower side of the air outlet face 102 is provided with an air outlet 105. The air handling device 100 can be an air conditioner, a drying device, a humidifier, or an air purifier, etc., and is not limited thereto.

[0033] Furthermore, the airflow guiding module includes a first panel 1, a second panel 2, a first track 3, a second track 4, and a drive module 5; wherein the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 are arranged vertically on the air outlet end face 102 of the air handling device 100, and the first track 3 is arc-shaped. The drive module 5 is used to drive the first panel 1 to slide along the first track 3 and to drive the second panel 2 to slide along the second track 4, thereby achieving the purpose of realizing multiple air outlet modes of the air handling device 100.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, preferably, in this embodiment, the flow guiding module further includes a support plate 7, which is used to fix it in the cavity of the frame 101. The first track 3, the second track 4, and the drive module 5 are all disposed on the support plate 7. In this way, the overall structure of the flow guiding module can be arranged more reasonably, compactly, and exquisitely, thereby ensuring the movement stability of the flow guiding module. It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the support plate 7 may not be provided, and the first track 3, the second track 4, and the drive module 5 may be directly disposed in the cavity of the frame 101 to save production costs. The choice can be made according to actual needs.

[0035] Preferably, in this embodiment, the cavity of the frame 101 is further provided with a mounting groove 104, the shape of which matches the shape of the support plate 7. The support plate 7 can be embedded in the mounting groove 104 to provide guidance and reinforcement for the installation of the support plate 7, and can further reduce the overall size of the air handling equipment 100.

[0036] Preferably, in this embodiment, the support plate 7 is further provided with a plurality of first connecting holes 71, and the cavity of the frame 101 is provided with a plurality of second connecting holes corresponding one-to-one with the first connecting holes 71. Fasteners can pass through the first connecting holes 71 and the second connecting holes in sequence to fix the support plate 7 and the frame 101.

[0037] Thus, the air guiding module disclosed in this embodiment, through the cooperation of the drive module 5, the first track 3 and the second track 4, when powered off, the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 can be relatively far apart to the first position to form a seal on the air outlet end face 102; when powered on, the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 can be relatively close to the second position to form multiple air outlet gaps 103 between them and the edge of the air outlet end face 102. At this time, air can be discharged from all sides of the air outlet end face 102 to achieve the purpose of multi-sided air supply. In this way, large air volume can be avoided from blowing out in the same direction, thereby effectively forming a comfortable environment with uniform temperature in the room and preventing excessive temperature difference in the indoor environment. More importantly, the first track 3 is arc-shaped, and the entire stroke of the first panel 1 is realized in a continuous track, thereby making the overall operation of the air guiding module more stable.

[0038] It is understandable that, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 move between the first position and the second position, the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 move closer to each other or further away from each other along a direction inclined to the horizontal plane.

[0039] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 The diagram shows the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 in a first position, at which point the air handling unit 100 is in a closed state. More specifically, the first panel 1 closes the upper and right sides of the air outlet surface 102, and the second panel 2 closes the lower and left sides of the air outlet surface 102. It should be noted that in some other embodiments, when the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 are in the first position, the first panel 1 may close the upper and left sides of the air outlet surface 102, and the second panel 2 may close the lower and right sides of the air outlet surface 102; the choice can be made according to actual needs.

[0040] Preferably, in this embodiment, the airflow guiding module further includes a middle panel 6, which is disposed on the air outlet end face 102 and located between the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 to cover the gap between the first panel 1 and the second panel 2. This arrangement can prevent airflow from leaking through the gap between the first panel 1 and the second panel 2, thereby further improving user comfort. Specifically, in this embodiment, the middle panel 6 is fixedly disposed on the air outlet end face 102. Of course, in some other embodiments, the middle panel 6 can also move with the first panel 1 and the second panel 2, depending on actual needs.

[0041] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 The diagram shows the state in which the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 are in the second position. At this time, the opposing surfaces of the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 are in contact with each other. The first panel 1 and the second panel 2 partially block the air outlet 105 of the air outlet end face 102, thereby forming resistance to the air blown out of the air outlet 105. Thus, it is equivalent to the airflow blown out of the air outlet 105 being blocked by the first panel 1 and the second panel 2, and then being guided to the above-mentioned multiple air outlet gaps 103 to be blown out, thereby forming a multi-sided air outlet state.

[0042] Preferably, in this embodiment, the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 are both shaped like a triangle, and the first panel 1 has a first inclined surface 11 and the second panel 2 has a second inclined surface 21. The first inclined surface 11 and the second inclined surface 21 are parallel to each other. When the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 are in the second position, the first inclined surface 11 and the second inclined surface 21 are in contact with each other. This arrangement can prevent collision interference when the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 are close to each other.

[0043] Further, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, driven by the drive module 5, the first panel 1 and the second panel 2, which are close to the second position, can move up and down relative to the air outlet 105 of the air outlet end face 102 to adjust the exposed area of ​​the air outlet 105 of the air outlet end face 102.

[0044] It is understandable that, such as Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment, as the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 move upwards, the obstruction area of ​​the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 on the air outlet 105 becomes smaller and smaller, while the exposed area of ​​the air outlet 105 becomes larger and larger. Consequently, the air volume directly discharged through the air outlet 105 also increases. When the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 move upwards to the third position, the exposed area of ​​the air outlet 105 reaches its maximum, and the airflow is essentially blown directly into the room from the air outlet 105. At this point, a high-volume airflow state with direct airflow can be achieved. This configuration allows the air handling equipment 100 to have more diverse airflow modes, meeting the different needs of different user groups.

[0045] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, further, in this embodiment, the drive module 5 includes a drive assembly 51, which includes a drive motor 511, a first connecting rod 512, and a first slider 514. The drive motor 511 is fixed on the support plate 7, and one end of the first connecting rod 512 is fixed to the output end of the drive motor 511. The drive motor 511 can drive the first connecting rod 512 to rotate. The first connecting rod 512 is provided with a first sliding groove 513 along its own axial direction. Under the drive of the first connecting rod 512, the first slider 514 can simultaneously slide and engage with the first sliding groove 513 and the first track 3. The first slider 514 is used to connect the first panel 1 and drive the first panel 1 to move along the first track 3. Specifically, the first slider 514 is provided with a first connecting block 515, which is simultaneously slidably disposed in the first sliding groove 513 and the first track 3. The first slider 514 can simultaneously slide and engage with the first sliding groove 513 and the first track 3 through the first connecting block 515.

[0046] To facilitate the explanation of how the drive assembly 51 drives the first panel 1, the end connecting the first connecting rod 512 and the output end of the drive motor 511 is now named end A. The first connecting rod 512 can rotate around end A. Driven by the first connecting rod 512, the first connecting block 515 can slide along the first track 3, thereby driving the first slider 514 to slide along the first track 3. Since the first track 3 is arc-shaped, the rotation radius between end A and the first connecting block 515 is in a dynamic process of change. In order to avoid the first connecting rod 512 from interfering and getting stuck due to the dynamic change of rotation radius, the first connecting block 515 needs to slide along the first groove 513 to match the dynamic change of rotation radius. In this way, on the one hand, the first slider 514 can move smoothly and continuously along the first track 3, thereby driving the first panel 1 to move smoothly to the first position, the second position, or the third position that cooperates with the second panel 2. On the other hand, the first slider 514 can also adapt to arc-shaped tracks of different specific shapes. The specific shape of the arc-shaped first track 3 can be designed according to actual needs.

[0047] like Figure 7 As shown, preferably, in this embodiment, there are two first connecting blocks 515 and two corresponding first tracks 3. The two first tracks 3 and the two first connecting blocks 515 slide in one-to-one cooperation, so as to ensure that the first slider 514 can move smoothly. Of course, in some other embodiments, there may be one, three or four first connecting blocks 515, etc., and the number of first tracks 3 can be the same as the number of first connecting blocks 515.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first track 3 includes a first arc segment 31 and a second arc segment 32. The first arc segment 31 is gentler than the second arc segment 32. More specifically, the first panel 1 can move from the first position to the second position along the gentler first arc segment 31, and the first panel 1 can move from the second position to the third position along the steeper second arc segment 32.

[0049] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, preferably, in this embodiment, the drive module 5 further includes a transmission component 52, which is connected to the drive component 51. Under the drive of the drive component 51, the transmission component 52 drives the second panel 2 to move along the second track 4. With this configuration, multiple air outlet modes can be switched using only one drive motor 511, reducing the number of drive motors 511, lowering the overall production cost of the air handling equipment 100, reducing energy consumption, and achieving energy saving. Furthermore, the simplified design of the air guiding module aligns with the current trend of miniaturization in equipment development.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second track 4 includes an inclined section 41 and a vertical section 42 connected to the inclined section 41. The inclined section 41 extends in a direction inclined to the horizontal plane, and the vertical section 42 extends in a vertical direction. Thus, the second panel 2 can move from a first position to a second position along the inclined section 41, and the second panel 2 can move from the second position to a third position along the vertical section 42. Preferably, the angle between the inclined section 41 and the vertical section 42 is an obtuse angle to ensure that the second panel 2 can move continuously and smoothly along the second track 4. Of course, in some other embodiments, the angle between the inclined section 41 and the vertical section 42 can also be an acute angle, whichever is appropriate according to actual needs.

[0051] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the second track 4 may also be arc-shaped, and the design can be made according to actual needs, without any restrictions.

[0052] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the transmission component 52 may not be provided. Instead, two sets of drive components 51 may be provided to drive the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 to move in a one-to-one correspondence. The choice can be made according to actual needs.

[0053] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, preferably, in this embodiment, the transmission assembly 52 includes a gear 521, a gear condition 522, a second connecting rod 523, a first fulcrum block 525, and a second slider 527; the gear 521 is fixed to the output end of the drive motor 511, the gear condition 522 meshes with the gear 521, and the drive motor 511 can drive the gear 521 to rotate so as to drive the gear condition 522 to reciprocate; one end of the second connecting rod 523 is hinged to the gear condition 522, the second connecting rod 523 is provided with a second sliding groove 524 along its own axial direction, and the second slider 527 is provided with a protrusion 528, the protrusion 528 being slidably connected to the second sliding groove 524; the second connecting rod 523... When the second slider 527 is abutted against the first fulcrum block 525, it slides along the inclined section 41 under the drive of the second connecting rod 523. Furthermore, the transmission assembly 52 also includes a second fulcrum block 526. When the second connecting rod 523 is disengaged from the first fulcrum block 525 and abuts against the second fulcrum block 526, the second slider 527 can slide along the vertical section 42 under the drive of the second connecting rod 523. The second slider 527 is used to connect the second panel 2 and can drive the second panel 2 to move along the second track 4. With this configuration, the transmission assembly 52 has the advantages of simple structure, easy implementation and small component size, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the overall structure of the flow guide module.

[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second slider 527 is provided with a second connecting block 529, which is slidably disposed in the second track 4. The second slider 527 moves along the second track 4 through the second connecting block 529. Preferably, the first fulcrum block 525, the second fulcrum block 526, and the second track 4 are all disposed on the support plate 7 to ensure that the overall structure of the flow guiding module is relatively compact and exquisite. Preferably, in this embodiment, there are two second connecting blocks 529, and two corresponding second tracks 4 are provided. The two second tracks 4 and the two second connecting blocks 529 slide in one-to-one cooperation to ensure that the second slider 527 can move smoothly. Of course, in some other embodiments, there may be one, three, or four second connecting blocks 529, etc., and the number of second tracks 4 may be the same as the number of second connecting blocks 529.

[0055] To facilitate explanation of how the transmission assembly 52 drives the first panel 1, the hinged end of the second connecting rod 523 and the gear condition 522 is now named end B. Driven by the drive motor 511, the gear 521 rotates, and the gear condition 522 reciprocates horizontally due to its meshing with the gear 521. Driven by the gear condition 522, the second connecting rod 523 rotates around end B with the first fulcrum block 525 as the fulcrum. Because the protrusion 528 of the second slider 527 is slidably connected to the second groove 524 of the second connecting rod 523, the second groove 524 can act on the protrusion 528 to drive the second slider 527 to move along the inclined section 41. When the second slider 527 drives the second panel 2 from the first position to the second position, correspondingly, the second connecting rod 523 simultaneously... The first fulcrum block 525 and the second fulcrum block 526 abut against each other; then, the tooth condition 522 continues to drive the second connecting rod 523 to move, the second connecting rod 523 disengages from the first fulcrum block 525, the second connecting rod 523 can rotate around the end B with the second fulcrum block 526 as the fulcrum, the second slide groove 524 can act on the protrusion 528 to drive the second slider 527 to move along the vertical section 42, the second slider 527 can drive the second panel 2 to move from the second position to the third position; and, importantly, in the process of the second connecting rod 523, the first fulcrum block 525, the second fulcrum block 526 and the second slider 527 cooperating with each other to drive the second panel 2 to move from the first position to the second position and then to the third position, the protrusion 528 and the second slide groove 524 can slide relative to each other to avoid interference and jamming.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to facilitate the gear condition 522 to drive the second connecting rod 523, the gear condition 522 includes a first segment 5221 and a second segment 5222 connected to the first segment 5221, and the second segment 5222 protrudes from the first segment 5221 toward the second connecting rod 523. The gear 521 is meshed with the first segment 5221, and one end of the second connecting rod 523 is hinged to the second segment 5222.

[0057] like Figure 11As shown, preferably, in this embodiment, the first slider 514 and the first panel 1 are detachably fixedly connected by a first snap-fit ​​structure 8. Specifically, the first snap-fit ​​structure 8 includes a first snap-fit ​​interface 81 and a first snap-fit ​​hook 82. The first slider 514 is provided with the first snap-fit ​​interface 81, and the first panel 1 is provided with the first snap-fit ​​hook 82. The first snap-fit ​​hook 82 can be snapped into the first snap-fit ​​interface 81 to achieve a fixed connection between the first slider 514 and the first panel 1. Preferably, the second slider 527 and the second panel 2 are detachably fixedly connected by a second snap-fit ​​structure 9. Specifically, the second snap-fit ​​structure 9 includes a second snap-fit ​​interface 91 and a second snap-fit ​​hook 92. The second slider 527 is provided with the second snap-fit ​​interface 91, and the second panel 2 is provided with the second snap-fit ​​hook 92. The second snap-fit ​​hook 92 can be snapped into the second snap-fit ​​interface 91 to achieve a fixed connection between the second slider 527 and the second panel 2. In this way, it is convenient to assemble and disassemble the first panel 1 and the second panel 2, so that the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 can be easily disassembled for cleaning of the flow guide module.

[0058] Admittedly, in some other embodiments, the first hook 82 can be provided on the first slider 514 and the second hook 92 can be provided on the second slider 527, and the first card interface 81 can be provided on the first panel 1 and the second card interface 91 can be provided on the second panel 2. Furthermore, the first buckle structure 8 and the second buckle structure 9 can also be other types of buckle structures, which can be selected according to actual needs.

[0059] Better, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, there are two sets of drive modules 5, which are evenly distributed on the air outlet end face 102 of the air handling equipment 100. On the one hand, they can provide good support for the first panel 1 and the second panel 2; on the other hand, they can smoothly drive the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 to move to the first position, the second position, or the third position. Admittedly, in some other embodiments, the number of drive modules 5 may also be, but is not limited to, one set, three sets, or four sets, etc., and is not limited here.

[0060] In summary, the airflow guiding module and the air handling device 100 including the airflow guiding module disclosed in this invention can bring at least the following beneficial technical effects:

[0061] 1) When the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 are in the second position, air can be vented from all four sides of the air outlet end face 102 to achieve the purpose of multi-sided air supply. In this way, large air volume can be avoided from blowing out in the same direction, thus effectively forming a comfortable environment with uniform temperature in the room and preventing excessive temperature difference in the indoor environment.

[0062] 2) The first track 3 is arc-shaped, and the entire stroke of the first panel 1 is achieved in a continuous track, which makes the overall operation of the air guide module more stable.

[0063] 3) When the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 are in the second position, the first inclined surface 11 and the second inclined surface 21 are in contact with each other, which can prevent collision interference when the first panel 1 and the second panel 2 are close to each other;

[0064] 4) The first panel 1 and the second panel 2 can be switched between the first position, the second position and the third position. The air guide module has multiple air outlet modes to meet the different needs of different user groups.

[0065] 5) Multiple air outlet modes can be switched using only one drive motor 511, reducing the number of drive motors 511, thus reducing the overall production cost of the air handling equipment 100 and reducing energy consumption, which plays a role in energy saving. In addition, the simplified design of the air guiding module is in line with the current trend of miniaturization in equipment development.

[0066] 6) The transmission component 52 has the advantages of simple structure, easy implementation and small component size, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the overall structure of the flow guiding module.

[0067] The technical means disclosed in this invention are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this invention, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this invention.
