Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, specifically to an air conditioning air outlet guide assembly, an air conditioning indoor unit, and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] As consumers' living standards improve, air conditioners are becoming increasingly diverse, and users have higher requirements for their use. They demand air conditioners with long air delivery distances, low noise levels, and specific installation locations. Currently, air conditioners typically adjust their air delivery by changing speed settings, which is a limited method. To increase the air delivery distance, the only way is to increase the air conditioner speed and thus the air volume, which not only increases noise but also energy consumption.

[0003] Another type of air conditioner uses a large air guide plate to concentrate the air volume and increase the air velocity at the outlet to increase the air delivery distance. However, this type of air conditioner is not aesthetically pleasing, and when it is running, insects and dust can easily enter the air conditioner, causing it to become dirty. It is also prone to producing condensation that spills into the room, affecting the user experience.

[0004] Because existing air conditioners have a single method for adjusting the air delivery distance, which can only be adjusted by increasing the air conditioner speed and increasing the air volume, resulting in high noise and increased energy consumption, this invention researches and designs an air conditioner air outlet guide component, an air conditioner indoor unit, and an air conditioner. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing air conditioning technology, which has a single method of adjusting the air supply distance, which can only be adjusted by increasing the air conditioning speed and increasing the air volume, resulting in not only high noise but also increased energy consumption. The present invention provides an air conditioning air outlet guide component, an air conditioning indoor unit and an air conditioner.

[0006] To address the above problems, the present invention provides an air conditioning outlet air guide assembly, comprising:

[0007] The system includes an air outlet, a movable mechanism, and an air guide structure. Both the movable mechanism and the air guide structure are located at the air outlet and are aligned with the direction in which the airflow exits the air outlet. The air guide structure is located downstream of the movable mechanism, allowing the airflow to pass through the movable mechanism first and then through the air guide structure. The movable mechanism is movable to change the size of the air outlet area, and the air guide structure is movable to further guide the airflow after it has been guided by the movable mechanism.

[0008] In some implementations...

[0009] It also includes an air outlet frame, which is disposed inside the first air outlet. The air outlet frame has an air inlet and an air outlet. Airflow can enter the interior of the air outlet frame from the first air inlet, and after being guided by the movable mechanism and the air guiding structure in sequence, it is blown out through the second air outlet. The second air outlet is opposite to, connected to, or overlaps with the first air outlet, so as to blow the guided air out from the first air outlet.

[0010] In some implementations...

[0011] The movable mechanism is located inside the air outlet frame and can move inside the air outlet frame to change the size of the air outlet area of ​​the second air outlet. The air guide structure is located at the second air outlet and can move to guide the airflow.

[0013] The second air outlet is located above the air outlet frame, and the first air inlet is located at the lower end of the air outlet frame. The movable mechanism can rotate from the upper end of the second air outlet toward the lower end of the second air outlet to reduce the air outlet area, and the movable mechanism can rotate from the lower end of the second air outlet toward the upper end of the second air outlet to increase the air outlet area.

[0015] The air outlet frame includes a first side plate, a second side plate, and a third side plate. The first side plate and the second side plate are opposite to each other and spaced apart by a preset distance.

The first side plate sandwiched between the first side plate and the second side plate forms an open air inlet one, and the second side plate sandwiched between the first side plate and the second side plate forms an open air outlet two.

[0016] In some implementations...

[0017] The movable mechanism is a wind deflector structure. The wind deflector is connected between the first side plate and the second side plate and is in contact with the third side plate via a first rotating shaft. The wind deflector can rotate around the first rotating shaft to guide the airflow inside the air outlet frame, thereby increasing or decreasing the air outlet area inside the air outlet frame that flows out from the second air outlet. It also includes a first motor, which is connected to the first rotating shaft to drive the wind deflector to rotate.

[0018] In some implementations...

[0019] The air guiding structure is an air guide plate, which is connected between the first side plate and the second side plate via a second rotating shaft and is located at the second air outlet. It also includes a second motor, which is connected to the second rotating shaft to drive the air guide plate to rotate, thereby changing the air guiding direction.

[0020] In some implementations...

[0021] The air guiding structure comprises multiple structures, which are arranged at intervals along the length of the second air outlet, and are capable of rotating to completely close the second air outlet; it also includes multiple second rotating shafts and multiple second motors, with each air guiding structure, second rotating shaft, and second motor corresponding to the other.

[0022] In some implementations...

[0023] The first side is a planar structure, the second side is an arc-shaped structure, and the third side plate, the first side plate, and the second side plate are all flat plate structures. The first side plate is opposite to the second side plate, and the second side plate is also opposite to the third side plate.

[0024] The present invention also provides an air conditioner indoor unit, which includes the aforementioned air conditioner air outlet guide assembly, and further includes an air inlet panel and a decorative panel. The air inlet panel and the decorative panel are connected to form an internal space. An air outlet is disposed on the decorative panel. The movable mechanism and the air guide structure are both disposed in the internal space and at positions opposite to the air outlet.

[0025] In some implementations...

[0026] When the air conditioner air outlet guide assembly further includes an air outlet frame, and the air outlet frame is disposed inside the first air outlet, and the air outlet frame has an air inlet one and an air outlet two:

[0027] The indoor unit of the air conditioner also includes a fan blade and an air duct assembly. The fan blade is disposed inside the air duct assembly. The air duct assembly has a first air outlet. The first air outlet is connected to the air inlet of the air outlet frame so as to drive airflow from the air duct assembly through the first air outlet into the air outlet frame and out through the air outlet.

[0028] In some implementations...

[0029] The air duct assembly includes a volute and a volute cover, which are fastened together to form the air duct assembly. The air duct assembly also has a second air outlet, and the decorative panel is also provided with an air outlet three. The indoor unit of the air conditioner also includes a base, which has an internally connected air inlet two and an air outlet four. The base is located between the air duct assembly and the air outlet three. The air inlet two of the base is connected to the second air outlet, and the air outlet four is connected to the air outlet three, so that the air of the air duct assembly can be discharged sequentially through the second air outlet, the base, and the air outlet three.

[0030] In some implementations...

[0031] The first air outlet of the air duct assembly is located above the second air outlet, the first air outlet on the decorative panel is located above the third air outlet, and the base is disposed at the lower end of the air duct assembly to support the air duct assembly.

[0032] In some implementations...

[0033] It also includes a heat exchanger, a chassis, and a fan drive motor. The air inlet panel is also provided with an air inlet three. The heat exchanger is also provided in the internal space. The chassis is provided at the lower end of the base, the air inlet panel, and the decorative panel to support the three. The fan drive motor is connected to the fan blade to drive the fan blade to rotate.

[0034] The present invention also provides an air conditioner, which includes the aforementioned indoor air conditioner unit.

[0035] The air outlet guide assembly, indoor unit, and air conditioner provided by this invention have the following beneficial effects:

[0036] This invention combines a movable mechanism and an air guide structure at the air outlet of the air conditioner. The air guide structure is located downstream of the movable mechanism, allowing airflow to pass through the movable mechanism first and then through the air guide structure. The movable mechanism can move to change the size of the air outlet area, enabling adjustable air delivery distance at the same speed. When long-distance air delivery is needed, the movable mechanism on the air outlet frame can be adjusted to reduce the size of the air outlet. While maintaining the same airflow volume, the air velocity increases, thereby increasing the air delivery distance. Multiple air guide plates at the air outlet can move independently, allowing for graded adjustment of the air outlet area and a fixed air velocity (once the movable mechanism is engaged, airflow is consistently delivered at that outlet size, guided by the air guide structure). This results in a uniform sweeping range, softer airflow, and a more comfortable experience. Because the air delivery distance is adjustable, the air conditioner can be installed in a wider range. Even if the air conditioner is installed at a distance, the airflow can reach the user, resulting in less noise and a better user experience. The invention allows for adjustment of the air delivery distance according to the user's actual needs while reducing noise and energy consumption. Attached Figure Description

[0046] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention or its application or use.

[0047] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0048] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0049] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is generally based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description.

Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this invention.

[0052] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides an air conditioning outlet air guide assembly, which includes:

[0053] The system includes an air outlet 14, a movable mechanism 12, and an air guide structure 11. Both the movable mechanism 12 and the air guide structure 11 are located at the air outlet 14 and are aligned with the direction in which the airflow exits the air outlet 14. The air guide structure 11 is located downstream of the movable mechanism 12, so that the airflow passes through the movable mechanism 12 first and then through the air guide structure 11. The movable mechanism 12 can move to change the size of the air outlet area, and the air guide structure 11 can move to further guide the airflow after it has been guided by the movable mechanism 12.

[0054] This invention combines a movable mechanism and an air guide structure at the air outlet of the air conditioner. The air guide structure is located downstream of the movable mechanism, allowing airflow to pass through the movable mechanism first and then through the air guide structure. The movable mechanism can move to change the size of the air outlet area, enabling adjustable air delivery distance at the same speed. When long-distance air delivery is needed, the movable mechanism on the air outlet frame can be adjusted to reduce the size of the air outlet. While maintaining the same airflow volume, the air velocity increases, thereby increasing the air delivery distance. Multiple air guide plates at the air outlet can move independently, allowing for graded adjustment of the air outlet area and a fixed air velocity (once the movable mechanism is engaged, airflow is consistently delivered at that outlet size, guided by the air guide structure). This results in a uniform sweeping range, softer airflow, and a more comfortable experience. Because the air delivery distance is adjustable, the air conditioner can be installed in a wider range. Even if the air conditioner is installed at a distance, the airflow can reach the user, resulting in less noise and a better user experience. The invention allows for adjustment of the air delivery distance according to the user's actual needs while reducing noise and energy consumption.

[0055] This invention solves the following technical problems:

[0056] 1. The original air conditioner had a single method for adjusting the air delivery distance (only by adjusting the fan speed);

[0057] 2. The problem of short air delivery distance when the original air conditioner is set to low speed (i.e., short air delivery distance at low frequency fan speed).

[0058] In some implementations...

[0059] It also includes an air outlet frame 10, which is disposed inside the air outlet 14. The air outlet frame 10 has an air inlet 15 and an air outlet 16. Airflow can enter the interior of the air outlet frame 10 from the air inlet 15, and after being guided by the movable mechanism 12 and the air guide structure 11 in sequence, it is blown out through the air outlet 16. The air outlet 16 is opposite to, connected to, or overlaps with the air outlet 14 so as to blow the guided air out from the air outlet 14.

[0060] This is a further preferred structural form of the air conditioner air outlet guide assembly of the present invention. Through the structure of the air outlet frame, its interior also has a hollow structure. The airflow inside the air conditioner can enter the interior of the air outlet frame through the air inlet one, and after passing through two stages of air guidance inside, it can be blown out through the air outlet two to the air outlet one, thereby blowing outward, playing the role of independent air guidance in two stages. The air outlet area is controlled in stages, the sweeping range is uniform, the airflow is softer, the experience is more comfortable, and the air delivery distance can be adjusted while reducing noise and energy consumption.

[0061] In some implementations...

[0062] The movable mechanism 12 is disposed inside the air outlet frame 10 and can move within the air outlet frame 10 to change the size of the air outlet area 16. The air guide structure 11 is disposed at the air outlet 16 and can move to guide the airflow. This is the preferred configuration of the movable mechanism, air outlet frame, and air guide structure of the present invention. That is, both the movable mechanism and the air guide structure are disposed inside the air outlet frame, with the movable mechanism located relatively upstream and the air guide structure located relatively downstream at the air outlet. This achieves a two-stage air guide effect, allowing for graded control of the air outlet area and adjustment of the air delivery distance while also reducing noise and energy consumption.

[0063] The inventive point of this invention lies in the following: a movable mechanism is designed on the air outlet frame, located at the air outlet, and controlled by a stepper motor. As the motor rotates clockwise and counterclockwise, the movable mechanism rotates accordingly, changing the size of the air outlet. With a constant airflow, the air delivery distance varies with the outlet size, thus achieving free adjustment of the air delivery distance at the same speed setting. When long-distance air delivery is required, the movable mechanism on the air outlet frame can be adjusted to reduce the size of the air outlet. With the airflow remaining constant, the air velocity at the outlet increases, thereby increasing the air delivery distance. The air outlet is designed with multiple air guides, each of which can move independently, allowing for graded adjustment of the outlet area, fixed air velocity, uniform airflow range, and gentle airflow for a more comfortable experience. Because the air delivery distance is adjustable, the installation range of the air conditioner is wider. Even if the air conditioner is installed at a distance, the air can still reach the user, resulting in less noise and a better user experience.

[0064] In some implementations...

[0065] The second air outlet 16 is located above the air outlet frame 10, and the first air inlet 15 is located at the lower end of the air outlet frame 10. The movable mechanism 12 can rotate from the upper end of the second air outlet 16 toward the lower end of the second air outlet 16 to reduce the air outlet area, and the movable mechanism 12 can rotate from the lower end of the second air outlet 16 toward the upper end of the second air outlet 16 to increase the air outlet area.

[0066] This is the preferred arrangement of the air outlet 2 and air inlet 1 of the air outlet frame of the present invention, and a further preferred air adjustment method of the movable mechanism. Since the airflow enters the interior of the air outlet frame from the air inlet 1 at the bottom of the air outlet frame, the movable mechanism can reduce the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet 2 when rotating from top to bottom, and increase the air outlet area of ​​the air outlet 2 when rotating from bottom to top, thereby achieving the effect of effectively adjusting the size of the air outlet area in the first stage.

[0067] Figure 3-5The diagram shows the structure of the air outlet frame and the principle of adjusting the air delivery distance. A movable mechanism is designed on the air outlet frame, located at the air outlet. Controlled by a stepper motor, the mechanism rotates clockwise and counterclockwise as the motor reverses direction, thus changing the size of the air outlet. With a constant airflow, the air delivery distance varies with the size of the air outlet. Figure 4-5 When the moving mechanism rotates clockwise, the air volume remains unchanged, the air outlet area decreases, the air outlet speed increases, and the air delivery distance is increased. The air outlet is designed with multiple air guides, each of which can move independently. The air outlet area can be adjusted in stages, the air speed is fixed, the sweeping range is uniform, the air outlet is gentle, and the experience is more comfortable.

[0068] In some implementations...

[0069] The air outlet frame 10 includes a first side plate 17, a second side plate 18, and a third side plate 19. The first side plate 17 and the second side plate 18 are opposite to each other and spaced apart by a preset distance. The third side plate 19 is connected between the first side plate 17 and the second side plate 18. The first side of the first side plate 17 and the second side plate 18 is formed as an open air inlet 15, and the second side of the first side plate 17 and the second side plate 18 is formed as an open air outlet 16.

[0070] This is a further preferred structural form of the air outlet frame of the present invention. Through the structure of the first side plate, the second side plate and the third side plate, an air outlet frame structure with an internal space can be formed. The air inlet is formed by the first side plate sandwiched between the first side plate and the second side plate in an open shape, and the air outlet is formed by the second side plate sandwiched between the first side plate and the second side plate in an open shape. Thus, air can be introduced from the open air inlet and the air in the air outlet frame can be discharged from the open air outlet.

[0071] In some implementations...

[0072] The movable mechanism 12 is a wind deflector. The wind deflector is connected between the first side plate 17 and the second side plate 18 and is in contact with the third side plate 19 via a first rotating shaft 20. The wind deflector can rotate around the first rotating shaft 20 to guide the airflow inside the air outlet frame 10, thereby increasing or decreasing the air outlet area inside the air outlet frame 10 that flows out from the air outlet 16. It also includes a first motor 13, which is connected to the first rotating shaft 20 to drive the wind deflector to rotate.

[0073] This is a preferred structural form of the active mechanism of the present invention, namely, a wind deflector structure. The wind deflector is connected between the first and second side plates via a first rotating shaft, allowing the wind deflector to rotate around the first rotating shaft. The first rotating shaft is connected to the third side plate, allowing the other end of the wind deflector to swing toward the second air outlet, thereby increasing or decreasing the air outlet area. The first motor can drive the wind deflector to rotate around the first rotating shaft, thus achieving the effect of adjusting the size of the air outlet area.

[0074] The wind deflector of the present invention is further preferably capable of being locked by a first motor drive, or is provided with a locking structure to position the wind deflector at a preset angle for wind blocking; the wind deflector can also be further preferably locked by connecting with a second side surface.

[0075] In some implementations...

[0076] The air guiding structure 11 is an air guiding plate, which is connected between the first side plate 17 and the second side plate 18 via a second rotating shaft and is located at the air outlet 16. It also includes a second motor 27, which is connected to the second rotating shaft to drive the air guiding plate to rotate, thereby changing the air guiding direction.

[0077] This is a further preferred structural form of the air guide structure of the present invention. Through the structure of the air guide plate and the second rotating shaft connected between the first and second side plates and located at the second air outlet, the air outlet direction of the second air outlet can be rotated and guided. Preferably, the air guide plate is rotated by the second motor driving the second rotating shaft.

[0078] In some implementations...

[0079] The air guide structure 11 is a plurality of such structures, which are arranged at intervals along the length of the second air outlet 16, and the plurality of air guide structures 11 can rotate to completely close the second air outlet 16; it also includes a plurality of second rotating shafts and a plurality of second motors 27, and the air guide structure 11, the second rotating shafts and the second motors 27 are all arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0080] This is a further preferred structural form of the air guiding structure of the present invention. Through multiple air guiding structures, it is possible to divide the area at the two air outlets into segments for air guiding, thereby achieving the effect of blowing air to multiple subdivided areas in the room and realizing more precise air supply and cooling / heating in the room.

[0081] In some implementations...

[0082] The first side is a planar structure, the second side is an arc-shaped structure, and the third side plate 19, the first side plate 17 and the second side plate 18 are all flat plate structures. The first side is opposite to the second side, and the second side is also opposite to the third side plate.

[0083] This is a further preferred structural form of the first side, second side, first, second and third side plates of the present invention, so that the second side forming the second air outlet is an arc-shaped structure, which can realize the structure of arc-shaped air outlet facing upward, thereby improving the range of indoor air supply.

[0084] The present invention also provides an indoor air conditioning unit (preferably a cabinet air conditioning unit), which includes the aforementioned air conditioning air outlet and air guide assembly, and further includes an air inlet panel 1 and a decorative panel 8. The air inlet panel 1 and the decorative panel 8 are connected to form an internal space. The air outlet 14 is disposed on the decorative panel 8. The movable mechanism 12 and the air guide structure 11 are both disposed in the internal space and at positions opposite to the air outlet 14.

[0085] This invention provides a top-and-bottom air conditioner with freely adjustable air delivery distance, solving the problems of limited air delivery distance adjustment methods and short air delivery distance at low speeds. The key lies in a movable mechanism designed on the air outlet frame, located at the air outlet and controlled by a stepper motor. As the motor rotates clockwise and counterclockwise, the movable mechanism changes the size of the air outlet. With a constant airflow, the air delivery distance varies with the size of the air outlet, thus achieving the purpose of adjusting the air delivery distance. The air outlet is designed with multiple air guides, each of which can move independently, allowing for graded adjustment of the air outlet area, fixed wind speed, uniform airflow range, and gentle air delivery for a more comfortable experience.

[0086] In some implementations...

[0087] When the air conditioner air outlet guide assembly also includes an air outlet frame 10, the air outlet frame 10 is disposed inside the first air outlet 14, and the air outlet frame 10 has an air inlet 15 and a second air outlet 16:

[0088] The indoor unit of the air conditioner also includes a fan blade 9 and an air duct assembly. The fan blade 9 is disposed inside the air duct assembly. The air duct assembly has a first air outlet 21. The first air outlet 21 is connected to the air inlet 15 of the air outlet frame 10 so as to drive airflow from the air duct assembly through the first air outlet 21 into the air outlet frame 10 and out through the air outlet 14.

[0089] The air duct assembly of the present invention includes a first air outlet, which is connected to the air inlet of the air outlet frame. It can effectively drive the airflow drawn in by the fan blades into the air outlet frame and blow it out through the air outlet, forming a two-stage air guiding effect. The air outlet area can be adjusted in stages, and the air delivery distance can be adjusted according to the actual needs of the user, while also reducing noise and energy consumption.

[0090] The air guide plate assembly of the present invention is generally used in cabinet air conditioners; the air guide plate is hidden and located inside the air conditioner, so the condensate produced will not spill into the room, and it is aesthetically pleasing; the air outlet of the present invention contains multiple air guide plates, each of which can move independently, and the air outlet area can be adjusted in stages, the wind speed can be fixed, the sweeping range is uniform, the air outlet is softer, and the experience is more comfortable.

The air duct assembly also has a second air outlet 22, and the decorative panel 8 is also provided with an air outlet 23. The indoor unit of the air conditioner also includes a base 6, which has an internally connected air inlet 24 and an air outlet 25. The base 6 is located between the air duct assembly and the air outlet 23. The air inlet 24 of the base 6 is connected to the second air outlet 22, and the air outlet 25 is connected to the air outlet 23, so that the air of the air duct assembly can be discharged sequentially through the second air outlet 22, the base 6, and the air outlet 23.

[0093] The air duct assembly of the indoor air conditioning unit of the present invention is preferably formed by fastening a volute and a volute cover. The air duct assembly is also provided with a second air outlet, and an air outlet three is provided on the decorative panel, so that the second air outlet and the air outlet three can be connected to achieve the effect of air outlet to the indoor unit. Furthermore, the base is provided between the air duct assembly and the air outlet three, so that the interior of the base is a hollow structure and is connected to the second air outlet through the air inlet two to allow air to enter.
