DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] 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.

[0025] First embodiment

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The embodiment of the present invention provides an air outlet assembly 100 for realizing the air outlet function of an air conditioner. The air outlet assembly 100 can promptly discharge condensed water, has a good drainage effect, avoids the occurrence of water blowing, and improves the user experience.

[0027] It should be noted that the air outlet component 100 is applied to the air-conditioning cabinet, which is placed on the ground. The air-conditioning cabinet can blow out hot air or cold air to achieve the heating or cooling function. The air outlet component 100 is used to realize the air outlet function of the air-conditioning cabinet and improve the air outlet effect.

[0028] The air outlet assembly 100 includes an air outlet frame 110, an air duct 120, and a water tray 130. The air duct 120 is mounted on the water tray 130, which receives condensed water and drains it outdoors. The air outlet frame 110 is mounted outside the air duct 120 and defines an air outlet 111. The airflow generated within the air duct 120 can pass through the air outlet 111 of the air outlet frame 110 and be blown into the room, achieving heating or cooling functions.

[0029] The air outlet frame 110 includes a frame 112 and a crossbeam 113. The crossbeam 113 is fixedly connected to the frame 112. In this embodiment, the crossbeam 113 and the frame 112 are integrally formed to improve the connection strength. The air outlet 111 is provided on the frame 112. The air flow passes through the crossbeam 113 in the process of passing through the air outlet 111 and blowing into the room. During this process, due to the uneven temperature inside and outside the crossbeam 113, condensation water will be generated on the crossbeam 113. Specifically, the crossbeam 113 is provided with a water diversion groove 114, and the top of the crossbeam 113 is provided with a water diversion surface 1131. The water diversion surface 1131 is tilted downward in the direction close to the water diversion groove 114 so that the condensation water generated on the crossbeam 113 flows to the water diversion groove 114 under the action of gravity. The water diversion groove 114 is used to discharge the condensation water on the crossbeam 113. In this way, the water diversion groove 114 can discharge the condensed water formed on the beam 113 under the action of the heat exchange airflow blown out by the air outlet 111, so as to realize the drainage function of the condensed water, so that the condensed water can be discharged in time, improve the drainage effect, avoid the occurrence of water blowing phenomenon, and enhance the user experience.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 4 The crossbeam 113 includes a main body 115 and a plurality of mounting portions 117. The main body 115 is connected to the frame 112 to fix the position of the entire crossbeam 113 and prevent the crossbeam 113 from moving relative to the frame 112. A water diversion groove 114 is provided on the main body 115. The top surface of the side of the main body 115 away from the water diversion groove 114 is higher than the top surface of the side of the main body 115 close to the water diversion groove 114, so that condensed water generated on the main body 115 can be drained into the water diversion groove 114 of the main body 115, achieving rapid drainage. Multiple mounting portions 117 are arranged at intervals and are all connected to the main body 115. The mounting portions 117 are used to install vertical air guide blades (not shown in the figure). The vertical air guide blades can be rotatably installed in the mounting portions 117 to achieve the function of adjusting the air flow direction. During this process, the mounting portions 117 can limit the vertical air guide blades to prevent the vertical air guide blades from detaching from the cross beam 113, thereby ensuring that the air guiding function is stable and reliable.

[0031] It is worth noting that the outlet air flow will also pass through the vertical air guide blades in the process of passing through the air outlet 111 and blowing out into the room. During this process, due to the uneven temperature inside and outside the vertical air guide blades, condensation water will be generated on the vertical air guide blades. The condensation water generated on the vertical air guide blades flows downward under the action of gravity, and flows to the main body 115 through the mounting portion 117, and flows to the water diversion groove 114 under the drainage action of the water diversion surface 1131, further improving the drainage effect.

[0032] It should be noted that the main body 115 is provided with a first side wall 1151 and a second side wall 1152 opposite to each other. The first side wall 1151 is provided on the side of the second side wall 1152 away from the air outlet 111, that is, the airflow flows from the first side wall 1151 to the second side wall 1152. The mounting portion 117 is connected to the first side wall 1151, and the vertical air guide blades are provided on the side of the first side wall 1151 away from the second side wall 1152. Specifically, the main body 115 is provided with a notch 1161 that communicates with the water diversion trough 114. The notch 1161 is provided near the first side wall 1151, and the top surface of the second side wall 1152 is higher than the top surface of the first side wall 1151. This facilitates the drainage of condensed water generated on the main body 115 through the notch 1161 into the water diversion trough 114, thereby achieving rapid drainage.

[0033] In this embodiment, mounting portion 117 protrudes from the top surface of first side wall 1151 to enhance the positioning of the vertical air guide blades. A water retaining rib 1153 extends from main body 115 along first side wall 1151 and connects to mounting portion 117. Both mounting portion 117 and water retaining rib 1153 serve to block condensed water, preventing it from flowing outward from main body 115 through first side wall 1151, thereby preventing water from blowing away.

[0034] In this embodiment, there are five mounting portions 117, five vertical air guide blades, and six water retaining ribs 1153. The six water retaining ribs 1153 and the five mounting portions 117 are arranged alternately, with each vertical air guide blade installed within a mounting portion 117. This ensures air guiding effects while preventing condensed water from flowing outward from the first side wall 1151. However, this is not a limitation. In other embodiments, the number of mounting portions 117 and vertical air guide blades can be four, in which case the number of water retaining ribs 1153 is five; the number of mounting portions 117 and vertical air guide blades can be six, in which case the number of water retaining ribs 1153 is seven; and there is no specific limitation on the number of mounting portions 117, vertical air guide blades, and water retaining ribs 1153.

[0035] Furthermore, mounting portion 117 is annular and defines a mounting cavity 1171. Mounting portion 117 also defines a mounting opening 1172 communicating with mounting cavity 1171. Mounting opening 1172 is configured to allow the vertical air guide blade to fit within mounting cavity 1171, thereby improving the efficiency of installing the vertical air guide blade. Specifically, mounting portion 117 is elastic. During the insertion of the vertical air guide blade into mounting cavity 1171 through mounting opening 1172, mounting portion 117 undergoes a certain amount of elastic deformation and then recovers, thereby limiting the position of the vertical air guide blade.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6In this embodiment, the bottom wall of the water channel 114 is gradually inclined downward toward the outlet of the water channel 114 to facilitate the drainage of condensed water within the water channel 114 toward the outlet of the water channel 114. Once the condensed water enters the water channel 114 through the notch 1161, the inclined bottom wall of the water channel 114 allows the condensed water to be quickly drained from the outlet of the water channel 114 under the action of gravity, thereby improving drainage efficiency.

[0037] It should be noted that the air duct 120 cooperates with the air outlet frame 110 and is provided with a water collection trough 121. The water collection trough 121 is located below the outlet of the water diversion trough 114. Condensed water discharged from the outlet of the water diversion trough 114 can flow into the water collection trough 121 to achieve the drainage of the condensed water. Furthermore, the water collection trough 121 has a water leakage hole 122, and the water receiving pan 130 is located below the water leakage hole 122. The condensed water discharged from the water collection trough 121 can flow into the water receiving pan 130, and the water receiving pan 130 can drain the condensed water to the outside to complete the drainage operation.

[0038] Specifically, the inclination angle of the bottom wall of the water diversion trough 114 is less than or equal to 15 degrees to prevent the condensed water in the water diversion trough 114 from flowing too fast and splashing out of the water collection trough 121. In this embodiment, the inclination angle of the bottom wall of the water diversion trough 114 is 10 degrees, but is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the inclination angle of the bottom wall of the water diversion trough 114 can be 5 degrees or 15 degrees. The magnitude of the inclination angle of the bottom wall of the water diversion trough 114 is not specifically limited.

[0039] In this embodiment, the crossbeam 113 is provided with a guide portion 1162 at the outlet of the water diversion trough 114. The guide portion 1162 is provided on the main body 115. The guide portion 1162 is provided downward in a bent shape. The guide portion 1162 is used to guide the condensed water so that the condensed water flows smoothly into the water collecting trough 121 to prevent the condensed water from splashing.

[0040] Specifically, the distance between the guide portion 1162 and the bottom wall of the sump 121 is less than or equal to 5 mm to prevent condensed water from falling from an excessively high position and splashing out of the sump 121. In this embodiment, the distance between the guide portion 1162 and the bottom wall of the sump 121 is 3 mm, but this is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the distance between the guide portion 1162 and the bottom wall of the sump 121 can be 2 mm or 5 mm. There is no specific limitation on the distance between the guide portion 1162 and the bottom wall of the sump 121.

[0041] The air outlet assembly 100 described in the embodiment of the present invention comprises an air outlet frame 110 including a frame 112 and a crossbeam 113 connected to the frame 112. The frame 112 is provided with an air outlet 111. The crossbeam 113 is provided with a water diversion groove 114. The top surface of the crossbeam 113 is gradually inclined downward in a direction approaching the water diversion groove 114. The water diversion groove 114 is used to drain condensed water formed on the crossbeam 113 under the action of the heat exchange airflow blown out of the air outlet 111. Compared with the prior art, the air outlet assembly 100 provided by the present invention, due to the use of the crossbeam 113 connected to the frame 112 and the water diversion groove 114 provided on the crossbeam 113, can promptly drain condensed water, achieve good drainage effect, avoid the occurrence of water blowing phenomenon, and enhance user experience.
