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 frame 100 for realizing the air outlet function. It can guide the condensed water to prevent the occurrence of water blowing and prevent the condensed water from flowing onto the indoor floor, thereby improving the user experience.

[0027] It should be noted that the air outlet frame 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 frame 100 is used to realize the air outlet function of the air-conditioning cabinet and improve the air outlet effect.

[0028] The air outlet frame 100 includes a frame 110 and a crossbeam 120. The frame 110 defines an air outlet 111, through which air can be blown outward to achieve heating or cooling. The crossbeam 120 is fixedly connected to the frame 110 and is used to mount vertical air guide blades (not shown).

[0029] The frame 110 includes a first side wall 112, a second side wall 113, a top wall 114, and a bottom wall 115. The top wall 114, the first side wall 112, the bottom wall 115, and the second side wall 113 are connected end to end and together form the air outlet 111. The first side wall 112 and the second side wall 113 are disposed on opposite sides of the air outlet 111, and the crossbeam 120 is connected between the first side wall 112 and the second side wall 113.

[0030] Specifically, the crossbeam 120 is fixedly connected to a side of the first sidewall 112 near the air outlet 111. The first sidewall 112 is provided with a first water guide rib 116, which is used to guide condensed water flowing down the first sidewall 112 to the crossbeam 120. The second sidewall 113 is provided with a second water guide rib 117, which is used to guide condensed water flowing down the second sidewall 113 to the crossbeam 120.

[0031] When the air conditioner cabinet is regulating the indoor temperature, the air flow passes through the air outlet 111 and is blown into the room. During this process, due to the uneven temperature inside and outside, condensation water will be generated on the first side wall 112 and the second side wall 113. The condensation water formed on the first side wall 112 can flow along the first water guide rib 116 to the beam 120, and the condensation water formed on the second side wall 113 can flow along the second water guide rib 117 to the beam 120, so as to realize the diversion of the condensation water, prevent the occurrence of water blowing, and prevent the condensation water from flowing onto the indoor floor, thereby improving the user experience.

[0032] It is worth noting that the crossbeam 120 is provided with a drainage groove 121, which is used to guide the condensed water on the crossbeam 120 to the water receiving tray for drainage, thereby preventing the condensed water from accumulating on the crossbeam 120 and further preventing the occurrence of water blowing. Specifically, the drainage groove 121 is provided on the back side of the crossbeam 120, and the condensed water can flow through the drainage groove 121 to the water receiving tray inside the air conditioner cabinet to complete the drainage operation.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first side wall 112 and the second side wall 113 are arranged in a flared shape along the air outlet direction, that is, the cross-sectional area of ​​the air outlet 111 gradually increases along the air outlet direction, so that the flow rate of the air outlet air flow gradually slows down during the blowing process, thereby improving user comfort, and can increase the air supply area and improve the cooling or heating effect.

[0034] It should be noted that a first baffle 1141 extends downwardly from the top wall 114, and a second baffle 1151 extends upwardly from the bottom wall 115. The air outlet 111 is disposed between the first baffle 1141 and the second baffle 1151. A first water guide rib 116 is disposed near the bottom of the first side wall 112, with the position of the first water guide rib 116 corresponding to the top of the second baffle 1151. When the air conditioner is controlling the indoor temperature, condensation forms on the portion of the first side wall 112 between the first baffle 1141 and the second baffle 1151 under the influence of the outlet airflow. This condensation flows through the first water guide rib 116 under the influence of gravity onto the crossbeam 120.

[0035] Accordingly, a second water guide rib 117 is provided near the bottom of the second side wall 113, and the position of the second water guide rib 117 corresponds to the top of the second baffle 1151. When the air conditioner is regulating the indoor temperature, condensation forms on the portion of the second side wall 113 between the first baffle 1141 and the second baffle 1151 under the influence of the outgoing airflow. This condensation flows through the second water guide rib 117 under the influence of gravity and onto the crossbeam 120.

[0036] First sidewall 112 includes a connecting section 1121 and an extension section 1122, which are interconnected. Extension section 1122 is disposed outside connecting section 1121. This means that when air flows outward, it first passes over connecting section 1121 and then over extension section 1122. Crossbeam 120 is fixedly connected to connecting section 1121. First water guide rib 116 is disposed on extension section 1122 to direct condensed water generated on extension section 1122 toward crossbeam 120. In this embodiment, crossbeam 120 and connecting section 1121 are integrally formed to enhance connection strength.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the connecting section 1121 is provided with a notch 1123 , which is used to allow the condensed water on the first water guide rib 116 to flow to the beam 120 , so as to prevent the connecting section 1121 from blocking the condensed water and ensure that the condensed water can flow smoothly to the beam 120 .

[0038] It should be noted that the first water diversion rib 116 is arranged obliquely to the extension section 1122, and the end of the first water diversion rib 116 away from the beam 120 is higher than the end of the first water diversion rib 116 close to the beam 120, so that the condensed water flows toward the direction close to the beam 120 under the action of gravity, thereby realizing the diversion function of the condensed water; the end of the first water diversion rib 116 away from the extension section 1122 is higher than the end of the first water diversion rib 116 close to the extension section 1122, so that the condensed water flows along the side of the first water diversion rib 116 close to the extension section 1122 toward the beam 120, preventing the condensed water from flowing outward from the side of the first water diversion rib 116 away from the extension section 1122, thereby improving the diversion effect.

[0039] In this embodiment, the end of the first water diversion rib 116 near the crossbeam 120 extends to directly above the crossbeam 120 to ensure that condensed water can smoothly transfer from the first water diversion rib 116 to the crossbeam 120 and prevent condensed water from accumulating between the first water diversion rib 116 and the crossbeam 120. However, this is not limiting. In other embodiments, the end of the first water diversion rib 116 near the crossbeam 120 can also be directly connected to the crossbeam 120 to similarly achieve the function of diverting condensed water to the crossbeam 120. The location of the end of the first water diversion rib 116 near the crossbeam 120 is not specifically limited.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 6 In this embodiment, the specific structure of the second side wall 113 and the second water guide rib 117 is the same as the specific structure of the first side wall 112 and the first water guide rib 116, except that the shapes are different, which will not be repeated here.

[0041] The air outlet frame 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention has a frame body 110 with an air outlet 111. The frame body 110 includes a first side wall 112, a crossbeam 120 fixedly connected to a side of the first side wall 112 near the air outlet 111, and a first water guide rib 116 provided on the first side wall 112. The first water guide rib 116 is used to guide condensed water flowing down the first side wall 112 to the crossbeam 120. Compared with the prior art, the air outlet frame 100 provided by the present invention, due to the use of the first side wall 112 connected to the crossbeam 120 and the first water guide rib 116 provided on the first side wall 112, can achieve the diversion of condensed water, thereby preventing the occurrence of water blowing, and can prevent condensed water from flowing onto the indoor floor, thereby improving the user experience.
