Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and more specifically, to an air outlet structure and an air conditioner. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, with the development and progress of science and technology, the distributed air supply technology of air conditioners has become more and more mature, and many models are already on the market. In order to enrich the market products and improve market competitiveness, air conditioners of different styles and designs are constantly being explored and designed.
[0003] In common air conditioners with a top-discharge structure, the airflow is sent upward from the top air outlet, and then guided by the baffle plate to blow towards the front of the air conditioner, completing the air delivery action from the top to the front of the air conditioner. During the above air delivery process, due to the influence of the top structure of the air outlet, vortices will appear at the intersection of the top air outlet and the baffle plate. The vortices will cause some air volume loss at the top air outlet, resulting in a decrease in the forward air delivery distance of the air conditioner, a deterioration in the cooling or heating effect, and a reduction in the comfort experience of the air conditioner. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides an air outlet structure and an air conditioner to solve the problem in the prior art where vortices appear at the intersection of the upper air outlet and the wind deflector, which leads to a decrease in the forward air delivery distance of the air conditioner.
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, an air outlet structure is provided, comprising: an air outlet section having an air outlet cavity, the air outlet cavity having an air inlet and an air outlet and a baffle disposed opposite to each other, the air inlet being connected to the air outlet duct of an air conditioner; and a baffle plate movably disposed at the baffle, the baffle plate being used to guide the gas entering the air outlet cavity from the air inlet; wherein the baffle plate has a closed state and an open state, in the closed state the baffle plate closes the baffle, and the gas in the air outlet cavity is blown out from the air outlet; in the open state the baffle plate partially blocks the baffle, and the gas in the air outlet cavity is blown out from the air outlet and the baffle respectively.
[0006] Furthermore, the air outlet structure also includes a drive unit, which is connected to the wind deflector to drive the wind deflector to rotate.
[0007] Furthermore, the drive unit includes a drive motor and a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly is connected to the drive motor and the baffle plate respectively. The drive motor drives the baffle plate to rotate through the transmission assembly.
[0008] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a driving gear and a driven gear that mesh with each other. The driving gear is mounted on the shaft of the drive motor and rotates with the shaft. The driven gear is mounted on the wind deflector to drive the wind deflector to rotate.
[0009] Furthermore, the driven gear is a sector gear, with an arc-shaped end and a fixed end at its two ends. The fixed end is connected to the wind deflector, and the arc-shaped end has teeth that mesh with the driving gear.
[0010] Optionally, the baffle includes a plate body, a first connecting member, and a fixing rod. The plate body is used to guide the gas entering the air outlet from the air inlet. One end of the first connecting member is disposed on the plate body, and the other end of the first connecting member is hinged to the air outlet to drive the plate body to rotate relative to the baffle. The two ends of the fixing rod are fixedly connected to the end faces of the first connecting member and the driven gear, respectively, so as to rotate simultaneously with the driven gear.
[0011] Optionally, the baffle includes a plate body, a first connector and a second connector. The plate body is used to guide the gas entering the air outlet from the air inlet. One end of the first connector and one end of the second connector are spaced apart on the plate body. The other ends of the first connector and the second connector are respectively hinged to the air outlet so as to jointly drive the plate body to rotate relative to the baffle.
[0012] Furthermore, the air outlet structure also includes an air guide section, which is located at the air inlet of the air outlet cavity. The air guide section is used to adjust the flow direction of the gas entering the air outlet cavity from the air outlet duct of the air conditioner.
[0013] Furthermore, the air guide section includes an air guide plate, which is rotatably configured. By rotating the air guide plate, the flow direction of the gas entering the air outlet cavity from the air outlet duct of the air conditioner is adjusted, so that the gas is directed toward the baffle plate.
[0014] Furthermore, there are multiple air guide plates, which are spaced apart to jointly regulate the flow direction of the gas entering the air outlet cavity from the air outlet duct of the air conditioner.
[0015] Furthermore, the air guide section also includes a rotating motor, which is connected to the air guide plate to drive the air guide plate to rotate.

[0017] Furthermore, the air conditioner also includes an air conditioning unit, the interior of which has interconnected air outlet ducts and air inlet ducts; the air outlet structure is located at the top of the air conditioning unit and is connected to the air outlet duct, and the gas inlet of the air inlet duct is located below the air outlet structure.
[0018] Applying the technical solution of this invention, this invention provides an air outlet structure, comprising: an air outlet section having an air outlet cavity, the air outlet cavity having an air inlet and an air outlet and a baffle disposed opposite to each other, the air inlet being connected to the air outlet duct of an air conditioner; and a baffle plate movably disposed at the baffle, the baffle plate being used to guide the gas entering the air outlet cavity from the air inlet; wherein the baffle plate has a closed state and an open state, in the closed state the baffle plate closes the baffle, and the gas in the air outlet cavity is blown out from the air outlet; in the open state the baffle plate partially blocks the baffle, and the gas in the air outlet cavity is blown out from the air outlet and the baffle respectively. This invention movably positions a baffle plate at the air outlet. By switching the baffle plate to the open state, the airflow at the intersection of the air outlet and the baffle plate is discharged from the air outlet, effectively solving the problem of vortices at the intersection. This avoids the problem of short forward airflow distance caused by vortices. Furthermore, by discharging the airflow at the intersection of the air outlet and the baffle plate to the outside through the air outlet, this airflow is effectively utilized, maximizing airflow and improving energy efficiency. It also allows the air conditioner to evenly regulate temperature, improving the rapid cooling or heating effect and enhancing user comfort. Simultaneously, by adjusting the positional relationship (e.g., angle) of the baffle plate relative to the air outlet, this invention can also effectively adjust the airflow and direction of both the air outlet and the baffle plate, making the airflow of the air conditioner more flexible and versatile.

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an air outlet structure, including: an air outlet section 10, the air outlet section 10 having an air outlet cavity 11, the air outlet cavity 11 having an air inlet 111 and an air outlet 112 and a baffle 113 disposed opposite to each other, the air inlet 111 being connected to the air outlet duct 51 of an air conditioner; a baffle plate 20, the baffle plate 20 being movably disposed at the baffle 113, the baffle plate 20 being used to guide the gas entering the air outlet cavity 11 from the air inlet 111; wherein, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the wind deflector 20 has a closed state and an open state. In the closed state, the wind deflector 20 closes the wind deflector 113, and the gas in the air outlet 11 is blown out from the air outlet 112. In the open state, the wind deflector 20 partially blocks the wind deflector 113, and the gas in the air outlet 11 is blown out from the air outlet 112 and the wind deflector 113 respectively.
[0033] This invention movably positions the baffle plate 20 at the air outlet 113. By switching the baffle plate 20 to the open state, the airflow at the intersection of the air outlet 10 and the baffle plate 20 is discharged from the air outlet 113, effectively solving the problem of vortices at the intersection of the air outlet 10 and the baffle plate 20. This avoids the problem of short forward airflow distance caused by vortices. Furthermore, by discharging the airflow at the intersection of the air outlet 10 and the baffle plate 20 to the outside through the air outlet 113, this airflow is also effectively utilized, maximizing the use of air volume, improving energy efficiency, and enabling the air conditioner to evenly regulate temperature, thus improving the rapid cooling or heating effect and enhancing user comfort. At the same time, by adjusting the positional relationship (e.g., angle) of the baffle plate 20 relative to the air outlet 10, this invention can also effectively adjust the airflow and direction of the air outlet 112 and the air outlet 113, making the airflow of the air conditioner more flexible and versatile.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air outlet structure also includes a drive unit 30, which is connected to the baffle plate 20 to drive the baffle plate 20 to rotate. By providing the drive unit 30, the baffle plate 20 can rotate automatically and with high precision, thereby achieving effective adjustment of the air volume and direction of the air outlet 112 and the baffle plate 113.
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drive unit 30 includes a drive motor 31 and a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly is connected to both the drive motor 31 and the baffle plate 20. The drive motor 31 drives the baffle plate 20 to rotate via the transmission assembly. By setting the drive motor 31 and the transmission assembly, the structure of the drive unit 30 is effectively simplified and miniaturized, and the baffle plate 20 can be quickly adjusted.
[0036] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the drive motor 31 is a stepper motor, which is convenient for procurement and installation, as well as for subsequent electrical connection control of the air conditioner as a whole.
[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the transmission assembly includes a driving gear 32 and a driven gear 33 that mesh with each other. The driving gear 32 is mounted on the shaft of the drive motor 31 and rotates with the shaft; the driven gear 33 is mounted on the baffle plate 20 to drive the baffle plate 20 to rotate. By setting the driving gear 32 and driven gear 33 that mesh with each other, the miniaturization and weight reduction of the transmission assembly are ensured, as well as the reliability of the transmission assembly, and the operating noise of the transmission assembly is also reduced.
[0038] Preferably, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the driven gear 33 is a sector gear, with an arc-shaped end 331 and a fixed end 332 at its two ends. The fixed end 332 is connected to the wind deflector 20, and the arc-shaped end 331 has teeth that mesh with the driving gear 32. By setting the driven gear 33 to a sector gear, the mass and volume of the driven gear 33 are effectively reduced while ensuring its reliable operation, thus facilitating the overall lightweighting and simplification of the transmission assembly.
[0039] It should be noted that in actual use, the length of the arc end 331 and the specific parameters of the gear teeth (e.g., the number of gear teeth, module and size) can be designed according to the required rotation angle range of the wind deflector 20, so as to avoid the sector gear and the drive gear 32 from failing to work due to disengagement.
[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the wind deflector 20 includes a plate body 21, a first connecting member 22, and a fixing rod 24. The plate body 21 guides the gas entering the air outlet 11 from the air inlet 111. One end of the first connecting member 22 is mounted on the plate body 21, and the other end of the first connecting member 22 is hinged to the air outlet 10 to drive the plate body 21 to rotate relative to the wind deflector 113. The two ends of the fixing rod 24 are fixedly connected to the end faces of the first connecting member 22 and the driven gear 33, respectively, so as to rotate simultaneously with the driven gear 33. By setting the fixing rod 24, the connection strength between the driven gear 33 and the wind deflector 20 is effectively guaranteed. By setting the plate body 21 and the first connecting member 22, the overall structure of the wind deflector 20 is simplified and lightweight, while also ensuring the rotational freedom of the wind deflector 20.
[0041] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, there are two fixing rods 24, which are spaced apart and fixedly connected to the upper and lower positions of the end face of the driven gear 33, respectively, to further improve the connection strength between the driven gear 33 and the wind baffle 20.
[0042] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the wind deflector 20 includes a plate body 21, a first connecting member 22, and a second connecting member 23. The plate body 21 guides the gas entering the air outlet 11 from the air inlet 111. One end of the first connecting member 22 and one end of the second connecting member 23 are spaced apart on the plate body 21. The other ends of the first connecting member 22 and the second connecting member 23 are respectively hinged to the air outlet 10, so as to jointly drive the plate body 21 to rotate relative to the wind deflector 113. By setting the plate body 21, the first connecting member 22, and the second connecting member 23, the overall structure of the wind deflector 20 is simplified and lightweight, while also ensuring the rotational freedom of the wind deflector 20.
[0043] It should be noted that in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the plate 21 is an arc-shaped plate structure (for example, the plane of the plate 21 used for air guiding is designed as a streamlined arc surface), and the specific external contour of the plate 21 is adapted to the shape of the air baffle 113. This setting not only ensures the air guiding effect of the plate 21 on the air outlet 10, but also completely seals the air baffle 113 when the baffle 20 is in the closed state. At the same time, when the baffle 20 is in the open state, the arc-shaped plate structure design can also reduce the resistance and gas noise at the air baffle 113 and the air outlet 112.
[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the air outlet structure also includes an air guide section 40, which is located at the air inlet 111 of the air outlet cavity 11. The air guide section 40 is used to adjust the flow direction of the gas entering the air outlet cavity 11 from the air outlet duct 51 of the air conditioner. By setting the air guide section 40, the reliable adjustment of the gas flow direction in the air outlet cavity 11 by the air outlet structure is further ensured, ensuring that the gas is blown towards the baffle plate 20 at the optimal angle to guide the gas, thereby making the air outlet of the air conditioner more flexible and more applicable.
[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the air guide section 40 includes an air guide plate 41, which is rotatably mounted. By rotating the air guide plate 41, the flow direction of the gas entering the air outlet cavity 11 from the air outlet duct 51 of the air conditioner is adjusted, so that the gas is directed towards the baffle plate 20. By setting the air guide plate 41, the overall structure of the air guide section 40 is simplified, and the obstruction of the air guide section 40 to the gas in the air outlet cavity 11 is effectively reduced.
[0046] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, there are multiple air guide plates 41, which are spaced apart to jointly regulate the flow direction of the air entering the air outlet cavity 11 from the air outlet duct 51 of the air conditioner. By setting multiple air guide plates 41, the air guiding effect of the air guiding section 40 is further improved.
[0047] Specifically, the air guide section 40 also includes a rotating motor, which is connected to the air guide plate 41 to drive the air guide plate 41 to rotate. By setting a rotating motor, the structure of the air guide section 40 is effectively simplified and miniaturized, and the air guide plate 41 can be quickly adjusted.
[0048] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the specific rotation angles of the air guide plate 41 and the baffle plate 20 can be adjusted according to the air velocity of the air conditioner. For example, when the air conditioner is at a low fan speed, since the vortex phenomenon is not obvious, the baffle plate 20 can be in a closed state or a small-angle open state to ensure the forward air delivery distance of the air conditioner. The rotation angle range of the baffle plate 20 in the small-angle open state is 0-15 degrees. When the air conditioner is at a medium fan speed, the baffle plate 20 is set to a medium-angle open state with a rotation angle range of 15-30 degrees. When the air conditioner is at a high fan speed, the baffle plate 20 is set to a large-angle open state with a rotation angle range of 30-45 degrees. Through the above settings, the customer's requirements for the air delivery distance of the air conditioner in various directions (e.g., the air outlet 112 faces forward and the baffle plate 113 faces backward) are effectively met, resulting in good user comfort and a wider range of applicable scenarios for the air conditioner. This also provides structural support for the subsequent intelligent working modes of the air conditioner (e.g., rapid cooling and rapid heating modes).
[0049] The present invention also provides an air conditioner including the aforementioned air outlet structure. The air conditioner employing the aforementioned air outlet structure effectively solves the potential vortex problem, has a long forward air delivery distance, high energy efficiency, and can evenly regulate temperature, effectively achieving rapid cooling or heating, resulting in a comfortable user experience.
[0050] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioner also includes an air conditioning unit 50, which has an interconnected air outlet duct 51 and an air inlet duct inside. The air outlet structure is located at the upper part of the air conditioning unit 50 and is connected to the air outlet duct 51. The gas inlet of the air inlet duct is located below the air outlet structure. By setting the gas inlet of the air inlet duct below the air outlet structure, the air blown out from the air outlet 112 and the air deflector 113 will not directly enter the air inlet duct from the gas inlet of the air inlet duct, thus avoiding the problem of mutual interference between the air outlet and air inlet of the air conditioner and improving the energy efficiency of the air conditioner.
[0051] The working principle of the air outlet structure proposed in this invention will now be described in detail: When the air conditioner exhibits the aforementioned vortex phenomenon, the drive unit 30 switches the baffle plate 20 to the open state. The baffle plate 20 partially blocks the air outlet 113, and the gas in the air outlet cavity 11 is blown out from the air outlet 112 and the air outlet 113 respectively. At this time, the vortex that appears at the intersection of the air outlet and the baffle plate will be blown out from the air outlet 113, which solves the vortex phenomenon and realizes the effective utilization of the vortex. When the air outlet speed and air volume of the air conditioner are low, the vortex phenomenon is not obvious. In order to ensure the air delivery distance at the air outlet 112, the drive unit 30 switches the baffle plate 20 to the closed state. The baffle plate 20 guides all the gas in the air outlet cavity 11 to the air outlet 112 for air delivery and prevents some gas from leaking from the air outlet 113, thereby effectively ensuring that the air delivery distance at the air outlet 112 meets the actual usage needs of the user.
[0052] In summary, this invention provides an air outlet structure and an air conditioner. The invention movably positions the baffle 20 at the air outlet 113. By switching the baffle 20 to the open state, the airflow at the intersection of the air outlet 10 and the baffle 20 is discharged from the air outlet 113, effectively solving the problem of vortices at the intersection of the air outlet 10 and the baffle 20. This avoids the problem of short forward airflow distance caused by vortices. Furthermore, by discharging the airflow at the intersection of the air outlet 10 and the baffle 20 from the air outlet 113... This allows for the effective utilization of the airflow to the outside, maximizing the use of air volume, improving energy efficiency, and enabling the air conditioner to evenly regulate temperature, thus improving the rapid cooling or heating effect and enhancing the user's comfort experience. Simultaneously, by adjusting the positional relationship (e.g., angle) of the baffle 20 relative to the air outlet 10, the present invention can also effectively adjust the airflow and direction of the air outlet 112 and the baffle 113, making the airflow of the air conditioner more flexible and versatile.
