[0039] It should be noted that the embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0040] In combination Figures 1-15 As shown in the drawings, the present disclosure provides an air outlet assembly 10, which comprises a chassis 11 and a plurality of first baffles 400. The chassis 11 is provided with a first air outlet. The plurality of first baffles 400 are arranged along the circumference of the first air outlet, and the plurality of first baffles 400 can be spliced into a conical cylinder with open ends. Wherein, the first baffle 400 comprises a plate body 410, and the inner side of the plate body 410 is provided with a wind guide protrusion 413 extending along the length direction of the first baffle 400

[0041] The present disclosure provides an air outlet assembly 10, which comprises a chassis 11 and a plurality of first baffles 400.

[0042] The bottom plate 11 is provided with a first air outlet for connecting with the air outlet of the preset installation position. A plurality of first baffles 400 are arranged along the circumference of the first air outlet and can be combined into a conical cylinder with open ends. The first end of the conical cylinder is the end close to the first air outlet, and the air guide cross section of the first end is larger than that of the second end, that is, the plurality of first baffles 400 define an air outlet air duct. After the air enters the air outlet air duct through the first air outlet, it flows from the first end of the conical cylinder to the second end of the conical cylinder along the inclined wall surface of the conical cylinder. Under the wall surface effect of the inner wall of the conical cylinder, the laminar flow in the air increases and the turbulent flow decreases, and the conical cylinder plays a role of flow regulation, thereby increasing the air supply distance of the air outlet assembly 10. The air guide cross section of the second end of the conical cylinder is small, and the flow rate of the air gradually increases when flowing in the conical cylinder. In this way, the air supply distance of the air outlet assembly 10 can also be increased by increasing the flow rate of the air.

[0043] The conical cylinder is in the form of a plurality of first baffles 400 combined together. In the case that the single first baffle 400 is movably connected to the bottom plate 11, the air outlet cross section of the second end of the air outlet air duct can be changed by the movement of the first baffle 400, thereby realizing the adjustment of the air supply distance and the strength of the wind feeling. In the case that the single first baffle 400 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 11, the conical cylinder is in the form of a plurality of first baffles 400 combined together, which facilitates the production and assembly of the air outlet assembly 10. When local deformation occurs in the conical cylinder, only the corresponding first baffle 400 needs to be replaced, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the air outlet assembly 10.

[0044] The air guide protrusion 413 on the inner surface of the plate body 410 is wedge-shaped or triangular, and the width gradually decreases from the first end to the second end of the plate body 410. When the plurality of first baffles 400 are combined, the adjacent two air guide protrusions 413 form an air guide groove. The part of the air flowing in the conical cylinder close to the inner wall of the conical cylinder is divided into a plurality of flows along the plurality of air guide grooves by the air guide protrusions 413. Under the guidance of the plurality of first air guide grooves, the air as a whole moves in the air outlet direction even if there is a certain vortex. In this way, the influence of the air close to the inner wall of the conical cylinder on the flow of other parts of the air can be reduced, the kinetic energy loss of the air in the conical cylinder can be reduced, and the air supply distance of the air outlet assembly 10 can be increased.

[0045] The air outlet assembly 10 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can combine the plurality of first baffles 400 into a conical cylinder, thereby increasing the air supply distance of the air outlet assembly 10. The conical cylinder is in the form of a plurality of first baffles 400 combined together. In the case that the first baffle 400 is movably connected to the bottom plate 11, the air supply distance and the strength of the wind feeling can be adjusted by the movement of the first baffle 400. The plurality of first baffles 400 are combined into a conical cylinder, and only the corresponding first baffle 400 needs to be replaced in the case of local deformation of the conical cylinder, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the air outlet assembly 10. The inner surface of the plate body 410 is provided with an air guide protrusion 413, which can reduce the kinetic energy loss of the air in the conical cylinder, thereby increasing the air supply distance of the air outlet assembly 10.

[0046] Optionally, the air outlet assembly 10 further comprises a wind blocking cylinder 600, which is arranged on the base plate 11. The first end of the wind blocking cylinder 600 is connected with the first air outlet. The plurality of first baffles 400 are arranged on the inner ring of the wind blocking cylinder 600.

[0047] When the plurality of first baffles 400 move to the second position, there will be a gap between the adjacent two first baffles 400. Although the plurality of first baffles 400 are arranged at the position avoiding the first air outlet, the wind guiding effect of the first baffles 400 is weakened. Therefore, the wind blocking cylinder 600 is arranged on the base plate 11. The first end of the wind blocking cylinder 600 is connected with the first air outlet. The plurality of first baffles 400 are arranged on the inner ring of the wind blocking cylinder 600. When the plurality of first baffles 400 gather into a conical cylinder, the wind blocking cylinder 600 does not affect the focusing air supply effect of the plurality of first baffles 400. When the plurality of first baffles 400 move to the second position, the plurality of first baffles 400 and the wind blocking cylinder 600 extend along the air outlet direction and jointly play the role of guiding the wind. The wind blocking cylinder 600 is arranged to jointly play the role of guiding the wind with the plurality of first baffles 400, thereby avoiding air leakage between the adjacent two first baffles 400 of the air outlet assembly 10.

[0048] Optionally, the length of the wind blocking cylinder 600 is greater than or equal to the length of the first baffle 400.

[0049] The plurality of first baffles 400 are moving parts. The wind blocking cylinder 600 arranged on the outer ring of the plurality of first baffles 400 can not only avoid the interference between the movement of the first baffles 400 and other parts of the pre-installed position, but also can physically protect the plurality of first baffles 400, thereby avoiding damage to the plurality of first baffles 400 during installation and transportation. The length of the wind blocking cylinder 600 is greater than or equal to the length of the first baffle 400. The first baffle 400 rotates to any position and is completely located in the wind blocking cylinder 600. In this way, the wind blocking cylinder 600 can better play the role of protection.

[0050] Optionally, the inner wall of the wind blocking cylinder 600 is structured with a plurality of embedded grooves. The shape of the embedded grooves is matched with the shape of the first baffle 400. The plurality of second baffles 500 move to the second position and are embedded in the plurality of embedded grooves one by one.

[0051] When the plurality of first baffles 400 rotate to the second position, there will be a gap between the plurality of first baffles 400, and the inner wall is not flat. This will cause the loss of air kinetic energy and affect the air outlet amount of the air outlet assembly 10. The inner wall of the wind blocking cylinder 600 is structured with a plurality of embedded grooves. The plurality of first baffles 400 move to the first position and are embedded in the plurality of embedded grooves one by one. When the wind blocking cylinder 600 and the plurality of first baffles 400 jointly guide the wind, the inner wall is relatively flat. In this way, the air outlet effect of the air outlet assembly 10 can be improved.

[0052] Optionally, the inner wall of the wind deflector 600 is configured with a plurality of air flow guide ribs.

[0053] When the plurality of first baffles 400 and the wind deflector 600 jointly guide the air flow, two adjacent air flow guide ribs form an air flow guide groove, and the air flow is divided into a plurality of air flows along the plurality of air flow guide grooves. Under the guidance of the plurality of air flow guide grooves, the air flow as a whole moves in the air outlet direction even if there is a certain vortex. In this way, the kinetic energy loss of the air flow through the air outlet assembly 10 can be reduced, thereby improving the air supply distance of the air outlet assembly 10.

[0054] Optionally, the plate body 410 is configured with two air flow guide protrusions 413, and an air flow guide groove is formed between two adjacent air flow guide protrusions 413.

[0055] The plate body 410 is configured with two air flow guide protrusions 413, and more air flow guide grooves can be formed in the inner wall of the cone. In this way, the kinetic energy loss of the air flow in the cone can be further reduced, thereby improving the air supply distance of the air outlet assembly 10.

[0056] Optionally, the two air flow guide protrusions 413 are respectively close to the two side edges of the plate body 410, one side edge of the air flow guide protrusion 413 serves as the first splicing part 414, and when the plurality of first baffles 400 are spliced, the air flow guide protrusions 413 of two adjacent first baffles 400 are spliced.

[0057] The two air flow guide protrusions 413 of the plate body 410 are close to the two side edges, and the air flow guide protrusion 413 simultaneously serves as a structural reinforcement of the first plate body 410. When the plurality of first baffles 400 are spliced, the first baffle 400 is not easy to deform; when the air flow passes through the cone, the first baffle 400 is not easy to vibrate.

[0058] The air flow guide protrusion 413 is close to the two side edges of the plate body 410, and preferably the air flow guide protrusion 413 is flush with the side edge of the plate body 410. In this way, the plate body 410 is thicker at the side edge. The thickened side edge serves as the first splicing part 414, and when the plurality of first baffles 400 are spliced, in the first aspect, the first baffle 400 is not easy to deform due to mutual contact; in the second aspect, the thickness of the side edge of the plate body 410 is relatively thick, and the two adjacent first baffles 400 are not easy to misalign or flash when spliced.

[0059] Optionally, the outer side of the plate body 410 is configured with a wedge-shaped protrusion 440.

[0060] The outer side of the plate body 410 is configured with a wedge-shaped protrusion 440, and on a cross section of the first baffle 400, the air flow guide protrusion 413 on the inner side of the plate body 410 and the wedge-shaped protrusion 440 on the outer side make the structure have a plurality of bending structures, which can further improve the structural strength of the plate body 410.

[0061] Optionally, the width of the wedge-shaped protrusion 440 gradually increases from the first end to the second end of the plate body 410, the width of the air guide groove gradually increases from the first end to the second end of the plate body 410, and the wedge-shaped protrusion 440 corresponds to the air guide groove.

[0062] The width of the air guide groove gradually increases from the first end to the second end, and the width of the two air guide protrusions 413 adjacent to the air guide groove gradually decreases from the first end to the second end of the plate body 410. The width of the air guide groove gradually increases, and the air flow section in the air guide groove is gradually expanded when the air flows in the air guide groove. In this way, the vortex formed by the contact between the air in the air guide groove and the wall of the air guide groove can occur as much as possible in the air guide groove, reducing the kinetic energy loss caused by the contact between the vortex and the air in other positions. The wedge-shaped protrusion 440 corresponds to the air guide groove, so that the thickness of the plate body 410 is relatively uniform throughout the plane. By adopting such a form of arrangement, the structural strength of the first baffle 400 is improved while the weight of the first baffle 400 is reduced, and the cost of the air outlet assembly 10 is reduced.

[0063] Optionally, the plate body 410 includes a wind blocking portion 411 and a mounting portion 412, wherein the width of the wind blocking portion 411 gradually decreases from the first end to the second end, and the air guide protrusion 413 is configured on the wind blocking portion 411; the mounting portion 412 is connected to the first end of the baffle, and there is a first included angle between the mounting portion 412 and the wind blocking portion 411.

[0064] Optionally, the plate body 410 includes a wind blocking portion 411 and a mounting portion 412, wherein the width of the wind blocking portion 411 gradually decreases from the first end to the second end; the mounting portion 412 is connected to the first end of the baffle, and there is a first included angle between the mounting portion 412 and the wind blocking portion 411.

[0065] The plate body 410 includes a wind blocking portion 411 and a mounting portion 412, and the wind blocking portions 411 of the plurality of first baffles 400 are spliced to form a conical barrel, and the mounting portion 412 is used to fix the first baffles 400 to the chassis 11.

[0066] The width of the wind blocking portion 411 gradually decreases from the first end to the second end, which is conducive to the splicing of the wind blocking portions 411 of the plurality of first baffles 400.

[0067] In the case where the plurality of first baffles 400 enclose a conical barrel, in the length direction, the wind blocking portion 411 is generally along the axial direction of the first air outlet, and the mounting portion 412 is generally along the radial direction of the first air outlet. There is a first included angle between the mounting portion 412 and the wind blocking portion 411, so that the mounting portion 412 can be attached to the chassis 11. The mounting portion 412 is attached to the chassis 11, which can realize the fixation of the first baffles 400 without the need to open a hole in the chassis 11, and can avoid air leakage of the air outlet assembly 10. The mounting portion 412 is attached to the chassis 11, and the contact area between them is large, which can improve the fixation effect of the chassis 11 on the first baffles 400.

[0068] Optionally, the first included angle is greater than 90 degrees.

[0069] In the case where the first included angle is equal to 90 degrees, the length direction of the mounting portion 412 is along the radial direction of the first air outlet, and the length direction of the wind blocking portion 411 is along the axial direction of the first air outlet. The first included angle is greater than 90 degrees, and in the case where the mounting portion 412 is attached to the bottom plate 11, the second end of the wind blocking portion 411 is gathered inward, so that the plurality of first baffles 400 are spliced into a conical barrel. With such a setting form, the fixing effect of the bottom plate 11 on the first bottom plate 11 can be further improved.

[0070] Optionally, the middle portion of the wind blocking portion 411 is convex to the first air outlet.

[0071] The middle portion of the wind blocking portion 411 is convex to the first air outlet, that is, the included angle between the conical barrel and the axis of the first air outlet gradually decreases from the first end to the second end. In the conical barrel, the increase of air flow velocity is more in the portion close to the first end and less in the portion close to the second end. The turbulence formed by throttling and acceleration of air is more in the front section of the conical barrel, and the speed change is less in the rear section of the conical barrel. The wall effect at the rear end of the conical barrel rectifies the air to reduce turbulence and increase laminar flow. After the air is blown out of the first conical barrel, it can be blown to a farther distance. With such a setting form, the air supply distance of the air outlet assembly 10 can be further improved.

[0072] Optionally, the first baffle 400 further comprises a rotating shaft 430 arranged on the mounting portion 412, and the first baffle 400 is rotatably connected to the bottom plate 11 through the rotating shaft 430. When the plurality of first baffles 400 are all rotated to the first position, they are spliced into a conical barrel with openings at both ends. When the plurality of first baffles 400 are all rotated to the second position, they are enclosed to form a cylindrical barrel to open the first air outlet at the maximum opening.

[0073] The first baffle 400 is rotatably connected to the bottom plate 11, and the rotating shaft 430 of the first baffle 400 is parallel to the plane in which the first air outlet is located. When the first baffle 400 rotates, the second end can move in the direction close to or away from the axis of the first air outlet.

[0074] When the plurality of first baffles 400 are all moved to the first position in the direction close to the axis of the first air outlet, the second ends of the plurality of first baffles 400 are gathered into a conical barrel with openings at both ends. The end with a larger cross section of the conical barrel is the first end, and the end with a smaller cross section is the second end. The first end of the conical barrel is connected to the first air outlet opened in the bottom plate 11, and the second end of the conical barrel serves as the air outlet of the air outlet assembly 10 as a whole. At this time, the air outlet cross section of the air outlet assembly 10 is reduced, and the air entering the conical barrel is blown to a farther distance under the gathering and guiding action of the plurality of first baffles 400, thereby realizing convergent far focus air supply.

[0075] It should be noted that if only the cross section of the air outlet is reduced, the flow rate of air at the air outlet is high, but the airflow is turbulent, and a lot of kinetic energy is lost due to molecular collision near the air outlet, and the air supply distance is short. Using the air outlet assembly 10 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, under the condition that the plurality of first baffles 400 are gathered, each first baffle 400 plays a role of guiding flow, and the air can form a laminar flow under the wall effect of the first baffle 400, and the energy loss is small during movement, so that it can be blown to a farther position.

[0076] When the plurality of first baffles 400 move to the second position away from the axis of the first air outlet, the second ends of the plurality of first baffles 400 are spread out. The projection of the second end of each first baffle 400 on the plane where the first air outlet is located is located outside the first air outlet. At this time, the air outlet of the chassis 11 serves as the air outlet of the whole air outlet assembly 10, and the air outlet cross section of the air outlet assembly 10 is large. The air is directly blown out through the air outlet of the chassis 11 and is not disturbed by the plurality of first baffles 400, and the air volume of the air conditioner is large.

[0077] It should be noted that when the plurality of first baffles 400 move between the first position and the second position, the projection of the second end of the plurality of first baffles 400 on the plane where the air outlet is located is located inside the first air outlet. The plurality of first baffles 400 are gathered but cannot be enclosed into a closed cone. At this time, the first air outlet of the chassis 11 serves as the air outlet of the whole air outlet assembly 10, and the second end of the plurality of first baffles 400 is located on the air outlet path to disturb the airflow. The wind after being disturbed by the plurality of first baffles 400 is blown to a short distance and the wind feeling is soft, that is, the sharp baffle disturbance air supply is realized.

[0078] Using the air outlet assembly 10 disclosed in the present application, the air supply distance and the wind feeling strength can be adjusted by the movement of the plurality of first baffles 400, and the air outlet form is various; the position of the plurality of first baffles 400 can be continuously changed, and the air supply distance and the wind feeling strength can be steplessly adjusted, and the individualized needs of users in different use scenarios can be met.

[0079] Optionally, the rotating shaft is arranged at one end of the mounting portion 412 away from the wind blocking portion 411.

[0080] The rotating shaft is arranged at one end of the mounting portion 412 away from the wind blocking portion 411, and when the first baffle 400 rotates, the rotation of the mounting portion 412 and the wind blocking portion 411 is all located on one side of the rotating shaft 430, so that the first baffle 400 does not easily interfere with the chassis 11 when rotating.

[0081] Optionally, the base plate 11 comprises a fixed ring 100 and a driving ring 200, wherein the fixed ring 100 is provided with a first air outlet in the middle, and a plurality of first pivot portions 110 are arranged on one side of the fixed ring 100 in a circumferential direction, and a plurality of first flaps 400 are rotatably connected to the fixed ring 100 through the plurality of first pivot portions 110 one by one; the driving ring 200 is coaxial with the fixed ring 100 and rotatable relative to the fixed ring 100, and the driving ring 200 is provided with a plurality of first driving portions 210, and the plurality of first flaps 400 are each provided with a first driving matching portion 420, and the plurality of first driving portions 210 and the plurality of first driving matching portions 420 are matched one by one, and when the driving ring 200 rotates, the second ends of the plurality of first flaps 400 move in the direction of the axis close to or away from the first air outlet.

[0082] In order to realize the fixation and driving of the plurality of first flaps 400, the base plate 11 comprises the fixed ring 100 and the driving ring 200. The fixed ring 100 is used to provide mounting positions for the plurality of first flaps 400, that is, the plurality of first flaps 400 are rotatably connected to the fixed ring 100. The driving ring 200 is used to drive the plurality of first flaps 400 to move synchronously to the first position or the second position or a certain position between the first position and the second position.

[0083] One side of the fixed ring 100 is provided with a plurality of first pivot portions 110, and the plurality of first pivot portions 110 correspond to the plurality of first flaps 400, and the first flaps 400 are rotatably connected to the fixed ring 100 through the first pivot portions 110. For example, the first pivot portion 110 is a shaft sleeve, the first end of the first flap 400 has a rotating shaft 430, and the rotating shaft 430 is matched with the shaft sleeve, so as to realize the rotating connection of the first flap 400. For another example, the first pivot portion 110 is a rotating shaft 430, and the first flap 400 is provided with a shaft sleeve matched with the rotating shaft 430, so as to realize the rotating connection of the first flap 400.

[0084] The driving ring 200 is arranged in parallel with the fixed ring 100, and the driving ring 200 can make plane rotation relative to the fixed ring 100. The driving ring 200 is provided with a plurality of first driving portions 210, each first flap 400 is provided with a first driving matching portion 420, and the plurality of first driving portions 210 and the plurality of first driving portions 210 are matched one by one. When the driving ring 200 rotates, the first driving portion 210 makes a circular motion along the plane where the driving ring 200 is located, drives the first driving matching portion 420 to move, and thus drives the first flap 400 to rotate around the first pivot portion 110.

[0085] The chassis 11 comprises a fixing ring 100, through which the plurality of first baffles 400 are fixed, facilitating installation and positioning of the plurality of first baffles 400; the plurality of first baffles 400 are simultaneously driven to move by the driving ring 200, and the second ends of the plurality of first baffles 400 can be simultaneously moved to the first position or the second position, facilitating the air outlet assembly 10 to change the air outlet form; the driving ring 200 is coaxial with the fixing ring 100 and can rotate relative to the fixing ring 100, and the driving ring 200 requires less space for movement, which is conducive to reducing the volume of the air outlet assembly 10.

[0086] Optionally, the chassis 11 further comprises a mounting ring 300, which is coaxial with the fixing ring 100, and the mounting ring 300 and the fixing ring 100 are oppositely arranged to form a driving space, and the driving ring 200 is rotatably arranged in the driving space.

[0087] The mounting ring 300 is used to fix the air outlet assembly 10 at a predetermined mounting position, such as an air outlet of a cabinet-type air conditioner. The chassis 11 is sequentially provided with the mounting ring 300, the driving ring 200 and the fixing ring 100 along the air outlet direction, and the driving ring 200 is located between the mounting ring 300 and the fixing ring 100. When the driving ring 200 drives the plurality of first baffles 400 to rotate, the movement of the driving ring 200 is not easy to interfere with the air outlet assembly 10 or other parts of the air conditioner. The mounting ring 300 and the fixing ring 100 form a driving space, which can make the air outlet assembly 10 have a neat appearance.

[0088] Optionally, the fixing ring 100 is provided with a plurality of first connecting pieces 120 along the circumference of the first air outlet, and the two ends of each first connecting piece 120 are provided with shaft holes, and the shaft lines of the shaft holes are parallel to the plane in which the first air outlet is located. Each adjacent two first connecting pieces 120 serve as a first pivot part 110, and the two ends of the rotating shaft of the first baffle 400 are respectively inserted into the two opposite shaft holes of the adjacent two first connecting pieces 120.

[0089] The two ends of the rotating shaft of the first baffle 400 are fixed by the adjacent two first connecting pieces 120, and the first baffle 400 is not easy to deviate when rotating; each first connecting piece 120 is connected with one first baffle 400 at the two ends, and the number of connecting pieces is equal to the number of first baffles 400, and the structure of the fixing ring 100 is simple and has low processing difficulty.

[0090] Optionally, the shaft hole is provided with a clamping notch in the radial direction, and the rotating shaft of the first baffle 400 is clamped into the shaft hole along the clamping notch.

[0091] If the two ends of the rotating shaft are respectively arranged into the shaft hole along the axial direction of the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft will be elastically deformed during assembly, or the shaft hole needs to be provided with an assembly allowance for the rotating shaft. In this case, the first baffle 400 may be offset along the axial direction of the rotating shaft when rotating. The shaft hole is provided with a clamping notch in the radial direction, and the width of the clamping notch is smaller than the diameter of the rotating shaft. When the first baffle 400 is assembled, the rotating shaft is clamped into the shaft hole from the clamping notch in the radial direction, and then is gap-fitted with the shaft hole to realize the rotatable connection of the first baffle 400. By adopting such a setting form, the assembly of the first baffle 400 can be facilitated, and the installation precision of the first baffle 400 can be improved.

[0092] Optionally, the first connecting piece 120 is provided with a first shaft hole and a second shaft hole, and the first shaft hole and the second shaft hole have a second included angle therebetween.

[0093] The plurality of first baffles 400 can be gathered to form a conical barrel, and the rotating shafts of the plurality of first baffles 400 form a regular polygon, so that a shape with a larger area can be enclosed with less material. The rotating shaft of the first baffle 400 serves as one side of the regular polygon, and there is a certain included angle a between the two adjacent rotating shafts. In the case where the number of the first baffles 400 is n, the included angle a = 180°-(360° / n). Correspondingly, the second included angle between the first shaft hole and the second shaft hole is also a, so that the rotating shaft of the first baffle 400 can be better constrained, so that the plurality of first baffles 400 enclose a conical barrel with a larger wind guide cross section at the bottom end.

[0094] Optionally, the first shaft hole and the second shaft hole are connected.

[0095] In this way, the injection difficulty of the first connecting piece 120 can be reduced, and the injection material of the first connecting piece 120 can be reduced, so that the cost of the air outlet assembly 10 can be reduced.

[0096] Optionally, the first driving part 210 comprises a first guide groove 211, and the distance between the first guide groove 211 and the first air outlet gradually increases from the first end to the second end; the first driving cooperation part 420 comprises a first driving pin 421, and the first driving pin 421 extends into the first guide groove 211. When the driving ring 200 rotates in the first direction, the distance between the first driving pin 421 and the first air outlet increases, so as to drive the second end of the first baffle 400 to be close to the axis of the first air outlet.

[0097] When the driving ring 200 rotates, the first guide groove 211 rotates relative to the first driving pin 421, and the first driving pin 421 slides relative to the first guide groove 211 under the limitation of the first blocking piece 400 and the first pivot part 110. When the driving ring 200 rotates in the first direction, the first end of the first guide groove 211 gradually changes to the second end of the first guide groove 211 in cooperation with the first driving pin 421. Under the limitation of the first guide groove 211, the distance between the first driving pin 421 and the axis of the air outlet gradually increases. The first blocking piece 400 is pivoted at the rotation axis, and the first driving pin 421 is one end of the lever and the second end of the first blocking piece 400 is the other end of the lever. When the distance between the first driving pin 421 and the axis of the air outlet gradually increases, the distance between the second end of the first blocking piece 400 and the axis of the air outlet gradually decreases. The second ends of the plurality of first blocking pieces 400 converge inward to achieve the aggregated telephoto air outlet. When the driving ring 200 rotates in the second direction, the distance between the first driving pin 421 and the axis of the air outlet gradually decreases, and the second ends of the plurality of first blocking pieces 400 diverge to achieve the windless air outlet.

[0098] Optionally, the angle between the first guide groove 211 and the axis of the first air outlet gradually increases from the first end to the second end.

[0099] In the thickness direction of the first guide groove 211 along the axial direction of the first air outlet, the first guide groove 211 has two opposite inner edges, and the angle between the first guide groove 211 and the axis of the first air outlet refers to the angle between the inner edge along the axial direction of the first air outlet and the axis of the first air outlet. If the two are parallel, the first driving pin 421 will interfere with the inner edge of the first guide groove 211 when it rotates. If a larger cooperation allowance is provided between the first guide groove 211 and the first driving pin 421, it may cause the position of the first driving pin 421 to be unclear when the driving ring 200 rotates. Specifically, when the first blocking piece 400 is located at the first position, it blocks more of the air outlet, and at this time, the first driving pin 421 also tilts more. When the first blocking piece 400 is located at the second position, the length direction thereof is along the axis of the first air outlet, and at this time, the first driving pin 421 tilts less and is generally parallel to the axis of the first air outlet. The angle between the first guide groove 211 and the air outlet gradually increases from the first end to the second end, and the degree of inclination of the first driving pin 421 during the rotation of the first blocking piece 400 is adapted to the degree of inclination of the first guide groove 211. In this way, on the one hand, the friction between the first guide groove 211 and the first driving pin 421 can be reduced, and on the other hand, the first driving pin 421 can be better rotated to a preset angle.

[0100] Optionally, the two side ends of the first blocking piece 400 are provided with first splicing parts 414, and each adjacent two first blocking pieces 400 can be spliced through the two first splicing parts 414.

[0101] When the plurality of first baffles 400 are all moved inward to the first position, the plurality of first baffles 400 are combined into a conical cylinder. If there is a gap between two adjacent first baffles 400, the air supply effect of the air outlet assembly 10 will be affected due to air leakage through the gap. The two ends of each first baffle 400 are provided with a first splicing part 414, and the two adjacent first baffles 400 are spliced by the first splicing part 414. In this way, the air supply effect of the air outlet assembly 10 can be improved, and the noise generated by the air flowing through the gap between the two adjacent first baffles 400 can be reduced.

[0102] Optionally, the first splicing part 414 is made of elastic material.

[0103] The first splicing part 414 between the two adjacent first baffles 400 is elastically deformed when the plurality of first baffles 400 are all moved inward to the first position. In this way, the air leakage of the conical cylinder when the plurality of first baffles 400 are gathered can be further avoided.

[0104] Optionally, the first driving pin 421 is connected to the mounting part 412 and extends along the length direction of the wind blocking part 411.

[0105] The first driving pin 421 is arranged on the mounting part 412, and the appearance of the wind blocking part 411 is relatively neat, which is conducive to the wind guiding effect of the wind blocking part 411. The first driving pin 421 extends along the length direction of the wind blocking part 411, which is conducive to the extension of the first driving pin 421 into the first guide groove 211 to drive the rotation of the first baffle 400.

[0106] Optionally, the air outlet assembly 10 further comprises a plurality of second baffles 500, which are arranged along the circumference of the first air outlet and located outside the plurality of first baffles 400. The first end of each second baffle 500 is rotatably connected to the bottom plate 11 so that the second end can move along the direction close to or away from the axis of the first air outlet. When the second end of the plurality of first baffles 400 is moved inward to the first position, the plurality of second baffles 500 are gathered inward. When the second end of the plurality of first baffles 400 is moved outward to the second position, each second baffle 500 is located between two adjacent first baffles 400.

[0107] When the plurality of first baffles 400 are away from the first position, a relatively large gap will be generated between the two adjacent first baffles 400. The air outlet assembly 10 is provided with two rows of baffles, which are the plurality of first baffles 400 in the inner row and the plurality of second baffles 500 in the outer row. The plurality of second baffles 500 are also distributed along the circumference of the first air outlet, and each second baffle 500 is rotatably connected to the bottom plate 11. The second end of each second baffle 500 can move along the direction close to or away from the axis of the first air outlet.

[0108] The first plurality of baffles 400 form a first conical cylinder when moved inwardly to the first position, and the second plurality of baffles 500 form a second conical cylinder when moved inwardly to the first position, the second conical cylinder being located outside the first conical cylinder. At this time, each of the second plurality of baffles 500 covers the joint between two adjacent first plurality of baffles 400. With this arrangement, air leakage at the joint between two adjacent first plurality of baffles 400 can be further avoided.

[0109] The first plurality of baffles 400 form a cylindrical shape when moved outwardly to the second position, and there is a gap between two adjacent first plurality of baffles 400. The second plurality of baffles 500 form a cylindrical shape when moved outwardly to the second position, and each of the second plurality of baffles 500 covers the gap between two adjacent first plurality of baffles 400. In this way, the first plurality of baffles 400 and the second plurality of baffles 500 form a closed air guide cylinder. In this way, the air guiding effect of the air outlet assembly 10 when the first plurality of baffles 400 are in the second position can be improved.

[0110] When the first plurality of baffles 400 are between the first position and the second position, the projection of the second end of the first plurality of baffles 400 on the plane of the first air outlet is located within the first air outlet, and the second end of the first plurality of baffles 400 plays a spoiler role. At this time, the projection of the second end of the second plurality of baffles 500 on the plane of the first air outlet is also located within the first air outlet, and the second end of the second plurality of baffles 500 also plays a spoiler role. In this way, the air guiding effect of the air outlet assembly 10 can be further improved.

[0111] Optionally, when the drive ring 200 is rotated in the first direction, the first plurality of baffles 400 and the second plurality of baffles 500 are both rotated inwardly, and the movement of the first plurality of baffles 400 leads the rotation of the second plurality of baffles 500. When the drive ring 200 is rotated in the second direction, the first plurality of baffles 400 and the second plurality of baffles 500 are both rotated outwardly, and the rotation of the second plurality of baffles 500 leads the rotation of the first plurality of baffles 400.

[0112] When the driving ring 200 rotates in the first direction, the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500 rotate inward, and the plurality of first baffles 400 rotate earlier than the plurality of second baffles 500. That is, when the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500 rotate inward, the plurality of first baffles 400 rotate first, and the plurality of second baffles 500 rotate later. In this way, a wind dispersing layer is formed between the first baffles 400 of the inner ring and the first baffles 400 of the outer ring. Part of the air entering the air outlet assembly 10 from the first air outlet first passes through the air guiding gap between the adjacent two first baffles 400 to enter the wind dispersing layer between the first baffles 400 and the second baffles 500, and then passes through the air guiding gap between the adjacent two second baffles 500 to blow out. The turbulence of the plurality of first baffles 400 and the turbulence between the plurality of second baffles 500 have the wind dispersing layer as a buffer, and the air is mixed in the wind dispersing layer after being disturbed by the first baffles 400 and then blown out after being disturbed by the second baffles 500. By adopting such a setting form, the wind dispersing layer can be formed, so that the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500 can better cooperate to realize the sharp-piercing turbulence function.

[0113] Similarly, when the driving ring 200 rotates in the second direction, the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500 rotate outward, and the plurality of second baffles 500 rotate earlier than the plurality of first baffles 400. When the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500 rotate outward, the plurality of second baffles 500 rotate first, and the plurality of first baffles 400 rotate later. In this way, a wind dispersing layer is also formed between the first baffles 400 of the inner ring and the second baffles 500 of the outer ring, so that the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500 can better cooperate to realize the sharp-piercing turbulence function.

[0114] By adopting such a setting form, the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500 have a certain time difference in movement, so that a wind dispersing layer can be formed between the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500, and the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500 can better cooperate to realize the sharp-piercing turbulence function.

[0115] Optionally, a wedge-shaped protrusion 440 is arranged on the outer side of the first baffle 400, and the wedge-shaped protrusion 440 is embedded between the adjacent two second baffles 500 when the first baffle 400 and the second baffle 500 rotate to the second position.

[0116] When the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500 are all moved to the second position, the air outlet is opened at the maximum opening degree, and the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500 are enclosed into a cylindrical shape. The outer side of the first baffle 400 is provided with a wedge-shaped protrusion 440, and the two sides of the wedge-shaped protrusion 440 are respectively in abutment with two adjacent second baffles 500. In this way, the wedge-shaped protrusion 440 can position the two second baffles 500 connected thereto. The first baffle 400 of the inner ring and the second baffle 500 of the outer ring are locked by the wedge-shaped protrusion 440, so that the first baffle 400 or the second baffle 500 can be prevented from shaking.

[0117] Optionally, in the case where the bottom disc 11 comprises the fixed ring 100 and the driving ring 200, one side of the fixed ring 100 is provided with a plurality of second pivot portions 130 which are circumferentially spaced apart and located outside the plurality of first pivot portions 110, and the plurality of second baffles 500 are one-to-one correspondingly connected to the fixed ring 100 through the plurality of second pivot portions 130; the driving ring 200 is further provided with a plurality of second driving portions 220, and the plurality of second baffles 500 are provided with second driving matching portions 520, the plurality of second driving portions 220 and the plurality of second driving matching portions 520 are one-to-one correspondingly matched, and the driving ring 200 drives the plurality of second baffles 500 to rotate when the driving ring 200 rotates.

[0118] One side of the fixed ring 100 is provided with a plurality of first pivot portions 110 and a plurality of second pivot portions 130, and the plurality of second pivot portions 130 are located outside the plurality of first pivot portions 110. The plurality of first pivot portions 110 are used to rotatably connect the plurality of first baffles 400 to the fixed ring 100, and the plurality of second pivot portions 130 are used to rotatably connect the plurality of second baffles 500 to the fixed ring 100. In this way, the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500 can be installed and positioned through one fixed ring 100, and the structure of the air outlet assembly 10 is simplified.

[0119] The driving ring 200 is provided with a plurality of second driving portions 220, each second baffle 500 is provided with a second driving matching portion 520, the plurality of second driving portions 220 and the plurality of second driving matching portions 520 are one-to-one correspondingly matched, and the driving ring 200 drives the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500 to rotate simultaneously when the driving ring 200 rotates. In this way, the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500 can be driven to rotate simultaneously through one driving ring 200, which is conducive to the synchronous movement of the plurality of first baffles 400 and the plurality of second baffles 500, and the structure of the air outlet assembly 10 is simplified.

[0120] Optionally, the outer edge of the driving ring 200 is provided with a gear tooth; the air outlet assembly 10 further comprises a driving gear 240 which is engaged with the gear tooth of the driving ring 200, and the driving gear 240 drives the driving ring 200 to rotate when the driving gear 240 rotates.

[0121] The outer edge of the driving ring 200 is provided with teeth, and the driving ring 200 is driven to rotate in a plane, so as to reduce the thickness of the air outlet assembly 10. The driving gear 240 is engaged with the teeth of the outer edge of the driving ring 200, and the driving ring 200 rotates by a corresponding number of teeth when the driving gear 240 rotates. In this way, a smaller motor can also drive the driving ring 200, reducing the volume of the air outlet assembly 10 and reducing the cost of the air outlet assembly 10.

[0122] Optionally, a first portion of the outer edge of the driving ring 200 is provided with teeth.

[0123] When the driving ring 200 drives the first baffle 400 to move between the first position and the second position, the angle of rotation of the driving ring 200 is fixed, and the outer edge of the driving ring 200 is partially toothed. With this arrangement, the processing difficulty of the driving ring 200 can be reduced. In addition, the driving ring 200 is partially toothed, so even if the rotation of the driving motor is abnormal, the driving ring 200 will not be driven to rotate beyond its rotation range, thereby avoiding the rotation of the first baffle 400 beyond its rotation range. This also improves the safety of the air outlet assembly 10.

[0124] Optionally, the mounting ring 300 is provided with a first clamping portion 310 extending radially outward, and the fixing ring 100 is provided with a second clamping portion 150 extending radially outward. The first clamping portion 310 and the second clamping portion 150 define a gear mounting space, and the driving gear 240 is arranged in the gear mounting space.

[0125] To achieve the installation and positioning of the driving gear 240, the mounting ring 300 is provided with a first clamping portion 310 extending radially, and the fixing ring 100 is provided with a second clamping portion 150 extending radially. The first clamping portion 310 and the second clamping portion 150 define a gear mounting space. The gear mounting space is provided with a clearance opening facing the driving ring 200 to allow the driving gear 240 to engage with the driving ring 200. With this arrangement, the fixing of the driving gear 240 is facilitated. In addition, the first clamping portion 310 and the second clamping portion 150 correspond to each other and can be used as visual identification marks when the mounting ring 300 and the fixing ring 100 are connected, facilitating the assembly of the air outlet assembly 10.

[0126] Optionally, the mounting ring 300 is provided with a first sliding groove 320, and the fixing ring 100 is provided with a second sliding groove 160 corresponding to the first sliding groove 320. The driving ring 200 is provided with a sliding column 230, and both ends of the sliding column 230 respectively protrude from two sides of the driving ring 200 and extend into the first sliding groove 320 and the second sliding groove 160.

[0127] The driving ring 200 rotates in the driving space. If the driving ring 200 and the mounting ring 300 or the fixing ring 100 are in surface friction, the friction force is relatively large, which affects the rotation of the driving ring 200. The mounting ring 300 is provided with a first sliding groove 320, and the fixing ring 100 is provided with a second sliding groove 160 corresponding to the first sliding groove 320. The first sliding groove 320 and the second sliding groove 160 are both arc-shaped sliding grooves. The driving ring 200 is further provided with a sliding column 230, both ends of the sliding column 230 respectively protrude from two surfaces of the driving ring 200, and respectively extend into the first sliding groove 320 and the second sliding groove 160. In this way, on the one hand, the sliding column 230 and the sliding groove cooperate to define a sliding track for the driving ring 200, which is conducive to the rotation of the driving ring 200; on the other hand, the sliding column 230 and the sliding groove cooperate to reduce the rotation friction of the driving ring 200, so that the driving ring 200 can rotate more smoothly. In addition, the two ends of the sliding column 230 respectively extend into the first sliding groove 320 and the second sliding groove 160, which is conducive to keeping the relative distance between the driving ring 200 and the mounting ring 300 and the fixing ring 100. By adopting such a setting form, the concentricity and flatness of the driving ring 200 during rotation can be improved, which is conducive to the synchronous rotation of the plurality of first baffles 400 driven by the driving ring 200.

[0128] Optionally, when the sliding column 230 is located at the first end of the first sliding groove 320, the second ends of the plurality of first baffles 400 rotate inwardly to the first position and gather into a conical cylinder with two open ends, at this time, the first air outlet is opened with the smallest opening degree; when the sliding column 230 is located at the second end of the first sliding groove 320, the second ends of the plurality of first baffles 400 rotate outwardly to the second position to make the first air outlet open with the largest opening degree.

[0129] After the plurality of first baffles 400 are all rotated inwardly to the first position, if the driving ring 200 continues to rotate, it can cause the first baffles 400 to deform or flash, which affects the air outlet effect of the air outlet assembly 10. Therefore, the movement of the first baffles 400 needs to be limited. Since the rotation of the first baffles 400 is driven by the rotation of the driving ring 200, limiting the rotation of the driving ring 200 also simultaneously limits the rotation of the first baffles 400. Specifically, the first baffles 400 rotate between the first position and the second position, and correspondingly, the sliding column 230 slides between the first end and the second end of the first sliding groove 320. That is, the two ends of the first sliding groove 320 serve as the sliding limiting portions of the sliding column 230. By adopting such a setting form, the first baffles 400 can be accurately moved to the first position or the second position, which improves the accuracy of the movement control of the first baffles 400 by the air outlet assembly 10.

[0130] Optionally, when the sliding column 230 is located at the first end of the second sliding groove 160, the second ends of the plurality of first flaps 400 are turned inward to the first position and gathered into a tapered cylinder with two open ends, and at this time the first air outlet is opened with the smallest opening degree; when the sliding column 230 is located at the second end of the second sliding groove 160, the second ends of the plurality of first flaps 400 are turned outward to the second position to make the first air outlet open with the largest opening degree.

[0131] The rotation of the driving ring 200 is limited by the second sliding groove 160 and by the first sliding groove 320, which can have the same effect.

[0132] Optionally, one side of the mounting ring 300 facing the fixing ring 100 is provided with a plurality of positioning bosses 330 along the circumference of the first air outlet, and the fixing ring 100 is provided with a plurality of positioning matching parts 170 corresponding to the positioning bosses 330, and the plurality of positioning matching parts 170 are one-to-one correspondingly lapped on the top of the positioning bosses 330.

[0133] The driving ring 200 rotates between the mounting ring 300 and the fixing ring 100, and a margin for the rotation of the driving ring 200 needs to be left between the mounting ring 300 and the fixing ring 100. Therefore, the mounting ring 300 is provided with a plurality of positioning bosses 330 along the circumference thereof, and the fixing ring 100 is provided with a plurality of positioning matching parts 170 along the circumference thereof. One side of the positioning boss 330 facing the fixing ring 100 abuts against one side of the positioning matching part 170 facing the mounting ring 300. With such a setting form, it is beneficial to the installation and positioning of the mounting ring 300 and the fixing ring 100 in terms of relative distance and coaxiality.

[0134] Optionally, the driving ring 200 is located in the inner circle of the plurality of positioning bosses 330.

[0135] If the positioning boss 330 penetrates the driving ring 200, the driving ring 200 needs to be provided with a corresponding avoiding groove, which will affect the structural strength of the driving ring 200. Therefore, the driving ring 200 is located in the inner circle of the plurality of positioning bosses 330. In this way, the positioning boss 330 and the positioning matching part 170 will not interfere with the rotation of the driving ring 200, and the driving ring 200 does not need to be provided with an avoiding groove, so the structural strength is higher.

[0136] Optionally, the top of the positioning boss 330 is provided with a positioning pin 331, and the positioning matching part 170 is provided with a positioning hole 171 corresponding to the positioning pin 331, and the positioning pin 331 is inserted into the positioning hole 171.

[0137] The top of the positioning boss 330 is configured with a positioning pin 331. The side of the positioning boss 330 facing the fixing ring 100 is provided with a positioning hole 171, and the positioning pin 331 is inserted into the positioning hole 171, which facilitates more accurate installation and positioning between the mounting ring 300 and the fixing ring 100.

[0138] Optionally, the first clamping portion 310 and one of the plurality of positioning bosses 330 are in one body structure, and the second clamping portion 150 and one of the plurality of positioning matching portions 170 are in one body structure.

[0139] With such a setting form, the fixing ring 100 and the mounting ring 300 are injection molded. In addition, the positioning matching portion 170 and the positioning boss 330 serve as a reinforcing rib, which can improve the structural strength of the first clamping and second clamping portions 150.

[0140] Optionally, the fixing ring 100 is provided with a plurality of first avoiding grooves 141, and the plurality of first avoiding grooves 141 correspond to the plurality of first blocking pieces 400 one by one. The first driving pin 421 of the first blocking piece 400 extends into the first guide groove 211 of the driving ring 200 through the first avoiding groove 141.

[0141] When the first blocking piece 400 rotates, the first driving pin 421 also rotates. The first driving pin 421 extends into the first guide groove 211 of the driving ring 200 through the avoiding groove of the fixing ring 100. With such a setting form, the first driving pin 421 can cooperate with the first guide groove 211 of the driving ring 200 without exceeding the driving ring 200, which simplifies the structure of the air outlet assembly 10.

[0142] Optionally, the length direction of the first avoiding groove 141 is along the radial direction of the fixing ring 100, and the width is matched with the size of the first driving pin 421.

[0143] The first driving pin 421 moves along the radial direction of the fixing ring 100 when it rotates, and the length direction of the first avoiding groove 141 is along the radial direction of the fixing ring 100, which can provide a rotating space for the first driving pin 421. The width of the first avoiding groove 141 is matched with the size of the first driving pin 421, which can limit the movement of the first driving pin 421 in the radial direction of the mounting ring 300, thereby avoiding the friction between the first guide groove 211 and the first driving pin 421 when the driving ring 200 rotates, which drives the first driving pin 421 to rotate along the circumferential direction of the fixing ring 100. This can improve the reliability of the air outlet assembly 10.

[0144] Optionally, the mounting ring 300 is provided with a third avoiding groove 341, and the length direction of the third avoiding groove 341 is along the radial direction of the mounting ring 300, and the width is matched with the size of the first driving pin 421.

[0145] In this way, the third avoiding slot 341 of the mounting ring 300 and the first avoiding slot 141 of the fixing ring 100 jointly limit the movement of the first driving pin 421 in the radial direction of the fixing ring 100. With this arrangement, the movement of the first driving pin 421 in the circumferential direction of the fixing ring 100 can be further avoided.

[0146] Optionally, the fixing ring 100 is provided with a plurality of second pivot portions 130 spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the first air outlet, the plurality of second pivot portions 130 are located outside the plurality of first pivot portions 110, and the plurality of second baffle plates 500 are one-to-one correspondingly connected to the fixing ring 100 through the plurality of second pivot portions 130.

[0147] The plurality of first pivot portions 110 are used to connect the plurality of first baffle plates 400, and the plurality of second pivot portions 130 are used to connect the plurality of second baffle plates 500. The plurality of first baffle plates 400 and the plurality of second baffle plates 500 are both connected to the fixing ring 100, which can simplify the structure of the air outlet assembly 10 and reduce the volume of the air outlet assembly 10.

[0148] Optionally, the driving ring 200 is provided with a plurality of second guide slots 221, the first end of the second baffle plate 500 is provided with a second driving pin 521, and the second driving pin 521 extends into the second guide slot 221. When the driving ring 200 rotates bidirectionally, the second baffle plate 500 also rotates bidirectionally.

[0149] The first guide slot 211 is used to drive the first baffle plate 400 to rotate, and the second guide slot 221 is used to drive the second baffle plate 500 to rotate. The cooperation between the second driving pin 521 and the second guide slot 221 can refer to the cooperation between the first driving pin 421 and the first guide slot 211. With this arrangement, when the driving ring 200 rotates, the plurality of first baffle plates 400 and the plurality of second baffle plates 500 are simultaneously driven to rotate, which improves the integration level of the air outlet assembly 10.

[0150] Optionally, the fixing ring 100 is provided with a plurality of second avoiding slots 142, the plurality of second avoiding slots 142 are located outside the plurality of first avoiding slots 141, and the second driving pin 521 extends into the second guide slot 221 through the second avoiding slot 142.

[0151] When the second baffle plate 500 rotates, the second driving pin 521 also rotates, and the second driving pin 521 extends into the second guide slot 221 of the driving ring 200 through the second avoiding slot 142 of the fixing ring 100. With this arrangement, the second driving pin 521 can cooperate with the second guide slot 221 of the driving ring 200 without exceeding the driving ring 200, which simplifies the structure of the air outlet assembly 10.

[0152] Optionally, the mounting ring 300 is provided with a plurality of third avoiding grooves 341 corresponding to the plurality of first avoiding grooves 141, and the first driving pin 421 extends into the third avoiding grooves 341 through the first guide groove 211.

[0153] The third avoiding grooves 341 and the first avoiding grooves 141 cooperate to limit the movement of the first driving pin 421 along the circumference of the fixing ring 100. In this way, the rotation of the first driving pin 421 can be better limited to its preset rotation plane, and the local deformation or fracture of the first driving pin 421 due to excessive force can be avoided.

[0154] Optionally, the mounting ring 300 is provided with a plurality of fourth avoiding grooves 342 corresponding to the plurality of second avoiding grooves 142, and the second driving pin 521 extends into the fourth avoiding grooves 342 through the second guide groove 221.

[0155] The fourth avoiding grooves 342 and the second avoiding grooves 142 cooperate to limit the movement of the second driving pin 521 along the circumference of the fixing ring 100. In this way, the rotation of the second driving pin 521 can be better limited to its preset rotation plane, and the local deformation or fracture of the second driving pin 521 due to excessive force can be avoided.

[0156] Optionally, the outer ring of the fixing ring 100 is outwardly protruded to form an annular step 180, the plurality of second pivoting parts 130 are arranged above the annular step 180, and the plurality of first pivoting parts 110 are arranged at the inner ring of the fixing ring 100.

[0157] The outer ring of the fixing ring 100 is used to connect the plurality of second blocking sheets 500, and the inner ring is used to connect the plurality of first blocking sheets 400. When the plurality of first blocking sheets 400 are spliced, a gap is easily generated at the position close to the fixing ring 100, and the gap includes a gap between adjacent two first blocking sheets 400 and a gap between the first blocking sheet 400 and the fixing ring 100. Therefore, the fixing ring 100 is provided with the annular step 180, the outer ring of the fixing ring 100 is higher than the inner ring of the fixing ring 100, that is, the plurality of first connecting parts 120 are arranged below the step, and the plurality of second connecting parts are arranged above the step. The gap of the plurality of first blocking sheets 400 at the position close to the fixing ring 100 is shielded by the sidewall of the annular step 180. By adopting such a setting form, the air-tightness of the plurality of first blocking sheets 400 when spliced can be improved, thereby improving the air-out effect of the air-out assembly 10. In addition, the pivoting position of the first blocking sheet 400 is below the step, and the pivoting position of the second blocking sheet 500 is above the step, and the two do not easily interfere with each other even if the distance between them is relatively short. The annular step 180 can reduce the distance between the first blocking sheet 400 and the second blocking sheet 500, thereby improving the air-tightness of the air-out assembly 10.

[0158] In combination Figures 1-2As shown, the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a shell 710, a fan box 720 and the air outlet assembly 10 described above, wherein the shell 710 is configured with a receiving space, the shell 710 is provided with a second air outlet; the fan box 720 is arranged in the receiving space, the fan box 720 is provided with a third air outlet, and the fan box 720 and the shell 710 form a sandwich layer; the air outlet assembly 10 is arranged in the sandwich layer, the first air outlet of the air outlet assembly 10 corresponds to the third air outlet of the fan box 720, and the air outlet direction of the air outlet assembly 10 is towards the second air outlet.

[0159] The air conditioner comprises the shell 710 and the fan box 720, the shell 710 is configured with a receiving space, and the fan box 720 is arranged in the receiving space. The independently arranged fan box 720 can improve the air outlet static pressure of the air conditioner, which is conducive to improving the air supply amount of the air conditioner and increasing the air supply distance of the air conditioner. The shell 710 is provided with a second air outlet, and the fan box 720 is provided with a third air outlet. The second air outlet is also used as the air outlet of the air conditioner as a whole. The first air outlet of the air outlet assembly 10 corresponds to the third air outlet of the fan box 720, and the air outlet assembly 10 is arranged between the second air outlet and the third air outlet, for guiding the air blown out by the third air outlet of the fan box 720 to the second air outlet of the shell 710 at a certain angle. When the plurality of first baffles 400 move to the first position, the second ends of the plurality of first baffles 400 are gathered, so as to realize the convergent telephoto air supply; when the plurality of first baffles 400 move to the second position, the second ends of the plurality of first baffles 400 are spread, so as to realize the soft air supply in a large range; when the plurality of first baffles 400 are between the first position and the second position, the tips of the plurality of first baffles 400 play a role of flow disturbance, so as to realize the sharp-piercing flow disturbance air supply. In terms of structure, the fan box 720 and the shell 710 form a sandwich layer, and the air outlet assembly 10 is arranged in the sandwich layer. In this way, the movement of the first baffles 400 or the second baffles 500 of the air outlet assembly 10 is neither in the fan box 720 nor outside the shell 710, and the movement of each moving part of the air outlet assembly 10 is not easily interfered.

[0160] By using the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the air outlet cross section of the air outlet air duct formed by the air outlet assembly 10 is adjustable, so that the air supply distance and the wind feeling strength of the air conditioner can be changed by adjusting the cross section of the air outlet air duct. Specifically, in the case that the fan rotating speed is unchanged, the air supply distance is increased and the wind feeling is enhanced by reducing the cross section of the air outlet air duct, and the air supply distance is reduced and the wind feeling is weakened by increasing the cross section of the air outlet air duct. The cross section of the air outlet air duct is adjustable, so that the air supply distance and the wind feeling strength can be adjusted without changing the fan rotating speed, thereby increasing the means for changing the air outlet form. If the fan rotating speed and the air duct cross section are adjusted at the same time, a larger range of adjustment for the air supply distance and the wind feeling strength can be realized.

[0161] The air outlet assembly 10 has a moving part to change the air outlet cross section of the air outlet duct. The air outlet assembly 10 is arranged in the interlayer. The movement of the moving part does not interfere with the components inside the fan box 720, thereby improving the stability of the air conditioner in operation. The movement of the moving part does not appear outside the shell 710, thereby making the appearance of the air conditioner more beautiful. The air outlet assembly 10 can be operated by opening the shell 710, thereby facilitating the assembly and maintenance of the air conditioner.

[0162] Optionally, the fan box 720 comprises a first box 721, a second box 722, and a fan. The first box 721 is provided with a third air outlet. The second box 722 is in communication with the first box 721, and the second box 722 is provided with an air inlet. The fan is arranged in the second box 722 and is configured to drive air to flow from the air inlet to the third air outlet.

[0163] The first box 721 is provided with the third air outlet, and the second box 722 is provided with the air inlet. The third air outlet is far away from the air inlet, and air outlet short circuit is not easy to occur, thereby facilitating better air circulation. The fan is arranged in the second box 722. When the fan rotates, the air outlet static pressure is formed to drive air to enter the second box 722 from the air inlet and then to be blown out through the third air outlet of the first box 721. In the second box 722, there is more turbulence under the stirring of the fan blades. After the air flows through the first box 721 from the second box 722, the first box 721 has a rectifying effect, and the amount of laminar flow in the air increases. After being blown out from the third air outlet, the air can be blown to a farther distance. In this way, the fan operation noise can be reduced, and the air supply distance of the air conditioner can be increased.

[0164] Optionally, the bottom end of the first box 721 is opposite to the top end of the second box 722, and the third air outlet and the air inlet are arranged on different sides of the fan box 720.

[0165] The air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure has a shape of the air outlet, which is close in length and width dimensions, and is preferably circular. The first box 721 is located above the second box 722, and the third air outlet is located above the air inlet. The third air outlet is high, and the coverage range of the air outlet is large. The third air outlet and the air inlet are located on different sides of the fan box 720, which can further avoid air return short circuit, thereby improving the air circulation effect. For example, in the use state of the air conditioner, the third air outlet is located on the front side of the fan box 720, and the air inlet is located on the rear side of the fan box 720. In the use state of the air conditioner, the front side faces the user, and the rear side does not face the user. In this way, the air conditioner has a more tidy appearance.

[0166] Optionally, the air conditioner further comprises a first air outlet duct 711, and the first air outlet duct 711 is arranged at the third air outlet. The bottom plate 11 is arranged at the outer circle of the first air outlet duct 711.

[0167] The bottom plate 11 of the air outlet assembly 10 is fixed to the fan case 720. At the joint position of the bottom plate 11 and the fan case 720, there are some structural protrusions and gaps. The first air outlet cylinder 711 is arranged to smoothly guide the air blown out from the third air outlet into the air outlet air duct of the air outlet assembly 10. With such an arrangement, air leakage at the joint position of the air outlet assembly 10 and the fan case 720 can be avoided, the kinetic energy loss of the air can be reduced, and the air supply effect of the air conditioner can be improved.

[0168] Optionally, the air conditioner further comprises a second air outlet cylinder 712, which is arranged at the second air outlet. The plurality of first baffles 400 are located at the outer circle of the second air outlet cylinder 712.

[0169] When the plurality of first baffles 400 move outward to the second position, the second air outlet cylinder 712 is located at the outer circle of the plurality of first baffles 400. The air blown out from the air outlet air duct of the air outlet assembly can be smoothly blown out through the second air outlet under the guidance of the second air outlet cylinder 712. With such an arrangement, the air outlet effect of the air outlet assembly can be further improved.
