Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioning technology, for example, to an air conditioning unit. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, the casing of an air conditioner indoor unit includes a panel with a first air outlet and a second air outlet. An air outlet duct is formed within the casing. The first air outlet communicates with the air outlet duct. There are two air outlet ducts and two first air outlets, located on either side of the second air outlet. Each first air outlet is connected to one of the two air outlet ducts. Each of the two first air outlets has a door. The casing also includes a second drive mechanism connected to the door, which drives the door to open or block the first air outlet. Two second drive mechanisms are provided, each driving the door in a corresponding manner. These mechanisms drive the two doors to move towards both sides of the indoor unit, away from each other, thereby opening the two first air outlets.

[0003] The two doors, which open in opposite directions towards the indoor unit, open the two primary air outlets. This means the indoor unit requires additional space during operation, necessitating a sufficient distance between its installation location and surrounding furniture to ensure proper functioning. When the indoor unit is off, this space remains unused, resulting in some wasted space. Summary of the Invention

[0024] Unless otherwise stated, the term "multiple" means two or more.

[0025] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the character " / " indicates that the objects before and after it are in an "or" relationship. For example, A / B means: A or B.

[0026] The term "and / or" describes an association between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or A and B.

[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0028] Combination Figures 1 to 19 As shown in the figure, this disclosure provides an air conditioner cabinet unit, including a casing, a first air outlet mechanism, and a second air outlet mechanism.

[0029] The casing has a symmetrically arranged first air outlet 102 and second air outlet 103. The air conditioner unit can achieve airflow from both sides through these two symmetrically arranged air outlets. Optionally, the dimensions of the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 are the same. This contributes to the left-right symmetry of the casing and improves its aesthetics.

[0030] The first air outlet mechanism includes a first panel 20 and a first driving device connected to each other. The first panel 20 corresponds to a first air outlet 102, and the first driving device drives the first panel 20 to move to open or close the first air outlet 102. The first panel 20 is positioned to correspond to the first air outlet 102. The first driving device drives the first panel 20 to move, thereby opening or closing the first air outlet 102.

[0031] The second air outlet mechanism includes a second panel 40 and a second drive device connected to each other. The second panel 40 corresponds to the second air outlet 103, and the second drive device drives the second panel 40 to move to open or close the second air outlet 103. The second panel 40 is positioned corresponding to the second air outlet 103, and the second drive device drives the second panel 40 to move, thereby opening or closing the second air outlet 103. Thus, based on the symmetrical arrangement of the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103, the opening and closing of the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 do not interfere with each other, allowing either air outlet to be opened as needed.

[0032] When the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 are opened, the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 move relative to each other; and when the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 are fully opened, some or all of the areas of the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 overlap.

[0033] When the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 are open, the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 operate independently, driven by the first and second driving devices respectively, and move relative to each other. For example, in a vertically oriented air conditioner unit, the first air outlet 102 is located on the left, and the second air outlet 103 is located on the right. When the first air outlet 102 is opened, the first panel 20 moves to the right. When the second air outlet 103 is opened, the second panel 40 moves to the left.

[0034] When the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 are fully open, a portion or all of the areas of the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 overlap. The area of ​​this overlap depends on the distance between the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103. Furthermore, at least the distance between the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 is sufficient to allow the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 to completely overlap.

[0035] The overlapping of some or all areas of the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 can be understood as the area formed when the air conditioner unit is vertically installed and the projected areas of the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 are viewed. In other words, the overlapping of some or all areas of the projected areas of the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 is described as follows:

[0036] Optionally, the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction.

[0037] Optionally, the air conditioner unit also includes a purification module 110, which is located inside the casing and corresponds to the first air outlet 102. Thus, air purified by the purification module 110 is blown out from the first air outlet 102.

[0038] Optionally, the air conditioner unit also includes a fresh air module 120, which is located inside the casing and corresponds to the second air outlet 103. In this way, air from the fresh air module is blown out from the second air outlet 103.

[0039] Thus, the air conditioner unit in this embodiment can not only achieve dual air outlets but also provide the effect of two different air functions. In practical applications, the purification module 110 and the fresh air module 120 can operate simultaneously, meaning they can both supply air at the same time. Alternatively, one of them can be selected to operate as needed. Specifically, when the purification module 110 is operating, the first air outlet 102 is open, and the second air outlet 103 can be closed. When the fresh air module 120 is operating, the second air outlet 103 is open, and the first air outlet 102 can be closed.

[0040] The air conditioner cabinet unit provided in this embodiment achieves a dual air outlet effect through the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103. The two air outlets are controlled separately by the first air outlet mechanism and the second air outlet mechanism, which helps to improve the flexibility of using the two air outlets. In addition, when the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 are fully open, part or all of the areas of the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 are overlapped, which helps to save space and also helps to improve the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner cabinet unit.

[0041] Optionally, when both the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 are closed, the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 are located on the same plane or the same arc surface.

[0042] In this way, the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 are located on the same plane or the same arc surface, which helps to ensure the surface of the air conditioner unit is flat and improves the overall aesthetics.

[0043] It should be noted that the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 are located on the same arc surface, which can be understood as the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 being located on the arc surface formed by the extension of the same arc line.

[0044] Optionally, with both the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 closed, the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 are mated together. Here, "matted together" can mean not only abutting each other but also being close together. This mating arrangement reduces the gap between the first panel 20 and the second panel 40, thereby preventing foreign objects from entering through the gap and affecting the airflow and the movement of the first panel 20 and the second panel 40.

[0045] Optionally, when the first air outlet 102 is opened, the first driving device drives the first panel 20 to tilt toward the side where the first air outlet 102 is located, so that when the first panel 20 slides toward the second panel 40, it is misaligned with the second panel 40.

[0046] The first driving device drives the first panel 20 to tilt toward the side where the first air outlet 102 is located, that is, the first panel 20 tilts and moves inward.

[0047] Definition: The initial state is defined as the state of the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 when both the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 are closed. In the initial state, the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 are on the same plane or the same arc surface. By tilting the first panel 20 inward, it is possible to misalign the first panel 20 with the second panel 40 when sliding towards it, thus preventing interference with the second panel 40 during the sliding process.

[0048] Optionally, the housing includes a track plate 60, which includes: a first track groove 601 connected to a first drive device to limit the movement trajectory of the first panel 20; and a second track groove 602 disposed opposite to the first track groove 601 and connected to a second drive device to limit the movement trajectory of the second panel 40.

[0049] Optionally, the housing also includes a front cover 101, which has a first air outlet 102 and a second air outlet 103, and a track plate 60 is mounted on the end of the front cover 101.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first track groove 601 and the second track groove 602 on the track plate 60 respectively define the movement trajectory of the first panel 20 and the second panel 40. That is, the first panel 20 moves along the direction of the first track groove 601, and the second panel 40 moves along the direction of the second track groove 602.

[0051] Optionally, the first track groove 601 is provided along the length direction of the track plate 60, and the second track groove 602 is provided along the length direction of the track plate 60. Here, "length direction of the track plate 60" can be understood as the length direction of the track plate 60 being the same as the moving direction of the first panel 20 or the second panel 40.

[0052] Both the first track groove 601 and the second track groove 602 are elongated.

[0053] The first drive device drives the first panel 20 to slide along the first track groove 601, thereby opening or closing the first air outlet 102.

[0054] The second drive device drives the second panel 40 to slide along the second track groove 602, thereby opening or closing the second air outlet 103.

[0055] Optionally, the track plate 60 includes opposing first and second surfaces. The first surface is configured with a first track groove 601 and a second track groove 602. The edge of the track plate 60 bends and extends from the first surface towards the second surface to form a bend 607, which is used to connect to the front cover 101. This achieves relative fixation between the track plate 60 and the front cover 101.

[0056] Optionally, the track plate 60 further includes a third track groove 603, which is intersected with the first track groove 601, for adjusting the tilt angle of the first panel 20 so that the first panel 20 closes the first air outlet 102 or is misaligned with the second panel 40 when the first air outlet 102 is open.

[0057] When the first panel 20 opens the first air outlet 102 from its initial state, it needs to tilt inward. Through the intersection of the third track groove 603 and the first track groove 601, the first panel 20 first moves inward along the third track groove 603 to adjust its tilt angle, and then moves along the first track groove 601 to open the first air outlet 102. This opening is offset from the second panel 40 to avoid interference.

[0058] In addition, when the first panel 20 closes the first air outlet 102, the first panel 20 moves back along the first track groove 601. Since the first panel 20 moves inward first and then slides, there is a gap between the first panel 20 and the first air outlet 102 after the first panel 20 moves back. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the angle of the first panel 20 again, that is, move it outward along the third track groove 603. In this way, the first panel 20 closes the first air outlet 102 to prevent foreign objects from entering the air conditioner unit through the gap between them.

[0059] In this embodiment, the third track groove 603 and the first track groove 601 are intersected and connected.

[0060] Optionally, the orientation of the first track groove 601 is asymmetrical with that of the second track groove 602, so that the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 can be misaligned when they move relative to each other, thus avoiding interference.

[0061] Optionally, the first track groove 601 extends from the first edge 604 of the track plate 60 toward the second edge 605. The first edge 604 and the second edge 605 of the track plate 60 are positioned opposite each other.

[0062] Optionally, the first track groove 601 and / or the second track groove 602 are recessed structures formed inward from the plate surface of the track plate 60. That is, they are non-through groove structures.

[0063] Optionally, the first end of the first track groove 601 is opposite to the second end of the second track groove 602 and is spaced apart by a preset distance.

[0064] Optionally, part or all of the bottom wall of the third track groove 603 is a hollow structure that penetrates the track plate 60.

[0065] Optionally, the middle region of the first edge 604 of the track plate 60 is provided with a receiving portion 606 for accommodating the first panel 20 and the second panel 40; wherein, when both the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 are located in the receiving portion 606, the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 are partially or entirely overlapped.

[0066] The first edge of the track plate 60, i.e. the side of the track plate 60 facing the user, is where the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 move against the first edge of the track plate 60.

[0067] A receiving portion 606 is constructed in the middle region of the first edge of the track plate 60. When the first air outlet 102 of the first panel 20 is opened and the second air outlet 103 of the second panel 40 is opened, the receiving portion 606 accommodates the first panel 20 and the second panel 40.

[0068] With the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 housed in the receiving part 606, the flatness of the surface of the air conditioner cabinet can be ensured, and the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 can be prevented from protruding, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner cabinet.

[0069] Furthermore, based on the size of the receiving portion 606, the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 are partially or completely overlapped. In the case of the first panel 20 and the second panel 40 overlapping, the first panel 20 is located behind the second panel 40, meaning the second panel 40 faces the user.

[0070] Optionally, the front cover 101 is recessed inward in the area between the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 to form a receiving portion 104 for receiving the first panel 20 and the second panel 40.

[0071] Optionally, the receiving portion 104 of the front cover 101 is adapted to the receiving portion 606 of the track plate 60.

[0072] Optionally, the first driving device includes: a first substrate 301, a first sliding component, and a first adjusting component. In this embodiment, the first driving device is connected to the first panel 20 through the first substrate 301, drives the first panel 20 to slide through the first sliding component to open or close the first air outlet 102, and adjusts the tilt angle of the first panel 20 through the first adjusting component to avoid interference with the second panel 40 during movement.

[0073] The first substrate 301 is detachably connected to the end of the first panel 20. The first substrate 301 is perpendicular to the first panel 20. Optionally, the first substrate 301 and the first panel 20 are connected by a door liner element 130.

[0074] The first sliding assembly includes a first gear 302 and a first rack 303. The first gear 302 is disposed on the track plate 60 and is rotatable. When the first rack 303 is engaged with the first gear 302, the first rack 303 is driven by the first gear 302 to move along the first track groove 601, thereby driving the first substrate 301 and the first panel 20 to move.

[0075] The first gear 302 is mounted on the track plate 60 via a first rotating shaft 70, that is, the first rotating shaft 70 passes through the track plate 60, the first gear 302 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 70, and is located on the surface of the track plate 60. The first rotating shaft 70 is driven by the drive assembly 90 to rotate, thereby driving the first gear 302 to rotate.

[0076] Optionally, the drive assembly 90 includes at least a drive gear 901, a driven gear 902, and a stepper motor 903. The drive gear 901 is connected to the stepper motor 903, and the driven gear 902 is mounted on the first rotating shaft 70 and meshes with the drive gear 901. The stepper motor 903 can rotate forward and backward, thereby allowing the first gear 302 to rotate forward and backward. The drive assembly 90 is housed within the casing.

[0077] When the first rack 303 is engaged with the first gear 302, the first rack 303 moves along the first track groove 601 driven by the first gear 302, thereby moving the first substrate 301 and the first panel 20 to open or close the first air outlet 102. The length direction of the first rack 303 is consistent with the length direction of the first track groove 601.

[0078] Optionally, the length of the first rack 303 is adapted to the width of the first panel 20. This ensures sufficient control force on the first panel 20 when it moves, preventing the edges of the first panel 20 from twisting or shifting.

[0079] Optionally, the first rack 303 is slidably connected to the first track groove 601 via a sliding bearing 100. Thus, the first rack 303 is located on the track plate 60, one end of the sliding bearing 100 is connected to the first rack 303, and the other end is located within the first track groove 601. When the first rack 303 moves, it drives the sliding bearing 100 to move along the first track groove 601.

[0080] Optionally, the first rack 303 is configured with a first mounting hole 3031 for mounting the sliding bearing 100, the sliding bearing 100 being fitted into the first mounting hole 3031.

[0081] Optionally, the first mounting hole 3031 on the first rack 303 can be a closed loop structure or an open structure.

[0082] Optionally, the first rack 303 is slidably connected to the first track groove 601 by at least two sliding bearings 100.

[0083] The first adjustment component is disposed in the third track groove 603 of the track plate 60 and connected to the first rack 303, for driving the first rack 303 to slide along the third track groove 603 so that the first rack 303 engages or disengages from the first gear 302.

[0084] The first adjustment component drives the first rack 303 to slide along the third track groove 603, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the first rack 303 and thus adjusting the tilt angle of the first panel 20.

[0085] For example, the first adjustment component drives the end of the first rack 303 to slide inward along the third track groove 603 (i.e. towards the second edge side of the track plate 60), the first rack 303 meshes with the first gear 302, and then the first gear 302 rotates forward, driving the first rack 303 to move along the first track groove 601, thereby causing the first panel 20 to open the first air outlet 102.

[0086] With the first panel 20 closing the first air outlet 102, the first gear 302 reverses, driving the first rack 303 to move back along the first track groove 601, thereby causing the first panel 20 to move back. Then, the first adjustment component drives the first rack 303 to move away from the first gear 302, causing the first rack 303 to separate from the first gear 302. The first rack 303 then causes the first panel 20 to tilt outward, so that the first panel 20 completely closes the first air outlet 102, reducing the gap between them.

[0087] Optionally, the first substrate 301 is arranged parallel to the track plate 60. This avoids interference between the first drive device and the track plate 60 during movement.

[0088] Optionally, the third track groove 603 is a through-slot structure penetrating the track plate 60. The first adjustment component is located on the second surface side of the track plate 60 and is connected to the first rack 303 and the sliding bearing 100 via the through-slot third track groove 603. The first adjustment component includes: a moving rack 304, a drive gear 305, and a drive motor 306. The first rack 303 is driven to move via a rack and pinion transmission to adjust the tilt angle of the first panel 20.

[0089] A movable rack 304, located at the bottom of the first rack 303, drives the first rack 303 to mesh with or disengage from the first gear 302. The movable rack 304 and the first rack 303 are connected by a U-shaped track member 307, which is located within a third track groove 603, with its bottom wall corresponding to the bottom wall of the third track groove 603. The movable rack 304 and the track member 307 are located on opposite sides of the track plate 60, connected by a connector passing through the third track groove 603. The connector can be a fastener or a connecting rod. The movable rack 304 and the track member 307 move synchronously.

[0090] Optionally, the length of the track component 307 is less than the length of the third track groove 603. The track component 307 and the first rack 303 do not interfere with each other; they are connected by a sliding bearing 100. When the sliding bearing 100 moves into the groove of the track component 307, the moving rack 304 actuates, and the track component 307 moves synchronously, driving the sliding bearing 100 to move, thereby driving the first rack 303 to actuate. The sliding bearing 100 can only move from the third track groove 603 to the first track groove 601, or from the first track groove 601 to the third track groove 603, when it reaches the intersection of the third track groove 603 and the first track groove 601.

[0091] Optionally, the bottom surface of the third track groove 603 is lower than the bottom surface of the first track groove 601, so that the track member 307 is located in the third track groove 603 and can only move within the third track groove 603.

[0092] A drive gear 305 meshes with a movable rack 304 to drive the movable rack 304 to reciprocate along the trajectory defined by the third track groove 603. A drive motor 306 is connected to the drive gear 305 to drive the drive gear 305 to rotate.

[0093] For example, when the drive motor 306 rotates forward, it drives the drive gear 305 to rotate forward as well. The drive gear 305 meshes with the movable rack 304, thereby driving the movable rack 304 to move along the third track groove 603 towards the second edge of the track plate 60. When the drive motor 306 rotates in reverse, it drives the drive gear 305 to rotate in reverse, thereby driving the movable rack 304 to move along the third track groove 603 towards the first edge of the track plate 60. In this way, the movable rack 304 reciprocates along the trajectory defined by the third track groove 603 through a gear and rack transmission.

[0094] Optionally, the second driving device includes a second substrate 501 and a second sliding component. In this embodiment, the second driving device is connected to the second panel 40 via the second substrate 501, and drives the second panel 40 to slide via the second sliding component to open or close the second air outlet 103.

[0095] The second substrate 501 is detachably connected to the end of the second panel 40. The second substrate 501 is arranged perpendicularly to the second panel 40. Optionally, the second substrate 501 and the second panel 40 are connected by a door liner element 130.

[0096] The second sliding assembly includes a meshing second gear 502 and a second rack 503. The second gear 502 is disposed on the track plate 60 and is rotatable. The second rack 503 is driven by the second gear 502 to move along the second track groove 602, thereby driving the second substrate 501 and the second panel 40 to move.

[0097] The second gear 502 is mounted on the track plate 60 via the second rotating shaft 80. Specifically, the second rotating shaft 80 passes through the track plate 60, and the second gear 502 is sleeved on the second rotating shaft 80 and located on the surface of the track plate 60. The second rotating shaft 80 is driven by the drive assembly 90 to rotate, thereby driving the second gear 502 to rotate.

[0098] The specific structure of the drive component 90 described above can be referenced here.

[0099] Exemplarily, the drive assembly 90 includes at least a drive gear 901, a driven gear 902, and a stepper motor 903. The drive gear 901 is connected to the stepper motor 903, and the driven gear 902 is mounted on the second rotating shaft 80 and meshes with the drive gear 901. The stepper motor 903 can rotate forward and backward, thereby allowing the second gear 502 to rotate forward and backward. The drive assembly 90 is housed within a casing.

[0100] The second rack 503 meshes with the second gear 502. Driven by the second gear 502, the second rack 503 moves along the second track groove 602, thereby moving the second substrate 501 and the second panel 40 to open or close the second air outlet 103. The length direction of the second rack 503 is consistent with the length direction of the second track groove 602.

[0101] Optionally, the length of the second rack 503 is adapted to the width of the second panel 40, thereby ensuring the control force on the second panel 40 when the second panel 40 moves, so as to prevent the edge of the second panel 40 from twisting or shifting.

[0102] Optionally, the second rack 503 is slidably connected to the second track groove 602 via a sliding bearing 100. In this configuration, the second rack 503 is located on the track plate 60, with one end of the sliding bearing 100 connected to the second rack 503 and the other end located within the second track groove 602. When the second rack 503 moves, it drives the sliding bearing 100 to move along the second track groove 602.

[0103] Optionally, the second rack 503 is configured with a second mounting hole for mounting the sliding bearing 100, the sliding bearing 100 being disposed in the second mounting hole.

[0104] Optionally, the second mounting hole on the second rack 503 can be a closed loop structure or an open structure.

[0105] Optionally, the second rack 503 is slidably connected to the second track groove 602 by at least two sliding bearings 100.
